Remember a couple weeks ago I told you they were pulling water off the corn (around here) for it to dry enough to combine? Well I took this picture today....

Holy crap, I had no idea corn would be harvested around the first if August.

We are still an easy 3 or 4 weeks from being able to chop corn and probably 6 or 7 weeks from combining.

Combines going all over the place here but the corn ain't ready yet.

You guys are still going after wheat.

last summer my parents went on a trip to Lethbridge in mid September and they were still doing wheat then.

Oats mostly. Barley is almost ready. Not much wheat grown around here.

Ok, they don't plant either of those two around here. It's corn, soybeans, rice, sweet taters, brown top millet, winter wheat, and very little cotton anymore. Beans and corn are the largest cash cows around here.......

I guess winter wheat doesn't do well in the permafrost?

Not too many oats grown here anymore, other than livestock farmers growing them for feed. Good bit of Barley, it usually comes off around the 5th of June, and Wheat comes off around the 25th of June. Lots of Corn, early beans, and double crop beans.

Our corn is about 2 weeks out.

Potatoes are king here. Soybeans are just starting to catch on in the last few years. Barley and oats are grown for feed, same as corn, its all chopped for silage. Lot of hay, sometimes just to plow down. Very rare to see a field of wheat, and winter wheat is the same, rare, no idea why. Carrots and other vegetables but not huge amounts.

We've been having local corn around here for at least a month now..... What's wrong with y'all down south? :wtf:

Our field corn is nowhere near ready. It just rains and rains and rains!!! Just now cut the wheat a few weeks ago and planted soybeans super late. Crazy weather this year.
