Well farmers here in WI are done chopping corn! It's a little late to do that! Farmers are already combining corn! Well High Moisture corn!!

Out in Maryland the silage crop is lookin pretty good, the early cutting we had overflowed our extra area we had to make after having so much last year.

I have been milking cows since I was a kid all ways the same way I learned from the best I have been on my own for 4 years, and I work hard at it. my cell count stays bellow 100,000 and my pi and spc runs 2000-4000. well I got my check for aug and not only did they take my bonuses but I got a .25-cwt deduction. this cut my check from 1500.00 to 600.00. all because they say I put water in the milk BULL %^&* I never put water in the milk I made some changes to my feed mix to cut cost . removing cotton seed and hfp had a big effect on my bft and all I think that is what caused this crap. so be careful when making cut backs cause the dam milk co sure don't care to put the screws to us

I have customers chopping some 95-105 day corn that was planted 20th of April. 65% moisture, and looks pretty good. Tonnage seems good, but not sure of the quaility. Only time will tell. Our corn is still milky and probably a few weeks away depending on the weather. Our mycogen BMR looks like it is going to do great...seedway BMR not so good.
