Drought….. a bad one…..

[@smallvillefarmer]

I feel you on the drought! Our irrigated beans only made 32 an acer last year! We just got our first inch of rain in over 8 months!

[@danielkacko7616]

im laughing and feeling bad at the same time, funny how u find the good in the weedcontrol standing in kneehigh corn close to harvest 😅

[@ProvokedTomcat]

Great video, solid summary and good views as always. God bless

[@pagrainfarmer]

Soooo sorry to hear about the drought there. It's heart breaking to see the corn the way it is there, especially in a year when inputs were so expensive. It's amazing to me how we can have 2 different experiences while both living only maybe 200 or so miles apart. We had plenty of rain, and in fact now, we could use a little less. However, I won't complain. Rather have too much than too little. Hope next year is a better year for you. Always hope for the new year.

Good content. 👍

[@christopherpyle3503]

Over in SW PA we had plenty of rain this year. Great bean, corn, and hay crop this year. Sorry to hear about your tuff season.

[@Maxdcat12345]

I know its to late but were finally getting some more rain here in PA.

Good day from Ontario. Yea it was very dry here too, very humid. I am 72 & have serious asthma & this was 1 rough yr. I think up corn seems to be a 6ft. tall most areas. But pods on soybeans wow really loaded. Thanks It is too bad, it has been rough last few yrs. Thanks

[@antonyfarming]

We've been in drought as well crops are bad 👍

[@randybennett5417]

The dry weather starved the weeds as well.

[@pennsylvanianrailfan]

Where in PA are you?

[@lynnhavenfarm8514]

It's crazy, I'm in ne Pennsylvania and it was very dry and now we're getting all kinds of rain with possible poor drainage flooding

[@AirplaneDoctor_]

Here in western Ontario it's been the same for lack of rain, until today of course, 3.5" in 4 hrs. The real kicker is it started raining in mid September 2021 and we had precipitation continuously until May 2022 so crops went in later than normal since the ground was so saturated. Then to add insult to injury mother nature basically turned off the tap only to turn it on again now that we're in September again.

[@mikemulligan4117]

I have a question about the steering cylinder on an International 684. Can't get it to turn left. Can you help please?

[@robertkroboth4514]

And the crop insurance don't do enough It's just so sad when you bust your back to get everything in on time to have it just burn up before your eyes

[@kenarnold9132]

Pretty much the same situation here in NC. Those that planted late pretty much lost everything. Corn was drying up at 4ft tall. 5" ears. Pretty much should've gone to silage, now it's too late even for that.

[@shawnantel8238]

Worst drought I remember in western pa was 1988. Impossible to keep to cows in. Fences just couldn’t keep hungry cows in. Absolutely no grass and no hay.

[@johngourley741]

Agreed. Really dry and hot in ‘88.

[@farmerpete]

Worst I remember here in SW Wisconsin was '88. That was a bad one.

[@robertkroboth4514]

I remember 1999 worst drought I ever seen lost everything

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

The weather has been crazy this year, again... It's strange how a little distance makes such a difference. We were too wet to start the season, and have been dry the the last month or so but not quite to drought conditions. Corn around here looks normal. Everyone I talk to from about an hour away from here says it dried up months ago. We got lucky I guess.

[@mikekahl5609]

From planting to grain fill I only had 5'' of rain but it pretty good considering. Did you measure your rainfall?

[@scottbowdish3249]

Better sell the corn for silage

[@colmanlong1032]

same in parts of Ireland,but the regen guys had no real problems.

[@PAFarms]

Always wanted to see Ireland

[@colmanlong1032]

@@PAFarms you should definitely visit.

[@arthurdewith7608]

To many drought years

[@melsplace4007]

It was like that here in central NC, too. We will be okay with the beans and tobacco, not great, but okay. The corn around my place has been burnt up since mid July.

[@kenarnold9132]

Yeah, I live SE of Raleigh and the corn burned up long ago.

[@karljacobson1575]

Want to see a drought, come to Kansas you at least have something to harvest....

[@maxxcherry12]

Yebish!

[@davidrenwick6718]

That's farming
