We pretended decided to get ready one more time,
One field is very, very, close. By our moisture tester is says we are there. But the corn sample Terry took to the Elevator said it was still too high. The second field is still over-the-top wet.
No matter what your corn moisture tester says, it’s what the Elevator’s moisture testers reads. 
Today, around noon, we will get different sample from the third field and take it to the Elevator…maybe this one will be good to go. Maybe.
Three fields waiting. We’ve checked them one by one.
December is flying by…what an amazing year for corn harvest. Although, to be sure, we are NOT the only ones with this problem. A few of the farmers have gotten ‘some’ of their corn in, but not many, and not a lot of their fields. Together we all wait.

This year. We’ve been late, but never with all the corn still standing, maybe a few loads, but not all!

I know there are places here that have had to wait until spring to harvest……I’m ssure they lose a lot in the process though. I’ve also seen then harvest in the dead of winter in extremely cold tempertures when it has freeze dried enough.

Freeze drying is what we are hoping for now!!!

I hope that the third field is good to go, and that the other two fields are not far behind it. It would be nice to get the corn in before Christmas.

Getting close – but yet we wait!
I dunno about your Colorado weather and any strange
changes but here in Brisbane – I still have two blankets on
my bed and for the last week they have been pulled up!
As you know from me in previous years – I am carrying on
“like a pork chop – where it shouldn’t be ( politically correct)”
of the sauna conditions???
Maybe it is all waiting for delightful February ????
The weather forecast here for our Brisbane Christmas is mild
weather, maybe rainy.
Please report soon – IT IS OFF.
Cheers
Colin

My sympathies. Mother Nature is giving this side of the U.S. all the precip this year. For sure CA needs it, but it sure is bad timing for corn farmers.

I HATE sampling over and over. Pretty soon I feel like we have ” sampled” over half the field!

The farm field in back of us has the same problem. We’ve been getting SO MUCH rain that I don’t know if it’ll ever dry out! You see a lot of that out this way this year.

It’s been like that for all of us also. Sure is a strange year.
