Interesting to hear different parts of country. We've been fortunate here with regard to rain last three years. Probably best three years for crop production ever for this area - all consecutive and all right after family stopped farming and started cash renting out the land (of course!). Year before last, renter reportedly had some soybeans make around 100 bu per acre. Last year, renter had well over 200+ bushel corn average with several areas over 300 bushel per acre. This year, his corn averaged 200 and his beans averaged 75. Both were hurt a little where had too much water. If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it. Our soil is ok; but not that rich black topsoil like some have up north. We've been fortunate to have the rain we've had.
