Hello, Russ! Life's hard but farmers are tougher...

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We will survive somehow

[@Machines85]

@luisnunes7933 exactly. everything will be fine

[@terryhobdy5727]

Well Russ I'm sorry to hear about the low yield but that part of farming. I glad everything is going well. We finally had some decent rain today it's been raining pretty hard for the last couple hours.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Yes we got a couple of hard showers as well. Looks like it’s gonna be through the weekend:

[@TheGrumpyFarmer]

I’m hoping my test plot does much better 🤦‍♂️ but USDA says record yields so it’ll be ok

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We are hitting record yields, record lows.

[@jasonwoods3384]

at least you left a little for the birds. Lol Sorry to hear about the yields Russ

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Well we all know we can’t have a bumper crop every year.

[@GordonBright-sq4ef]

Well you gave heads up look fwd seeing your videos but wasn't looking fwd to this one but is what it is at least didn't have everything planted in that. DeKalb & NK hard variety to beat in my option. Pioneer used have reputation of falling down bad

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Pioneer needs to leave the corn industry. Their soybeans are great.

[@Onealfarm9967]

At least you got corn everyone around here chopping there’s

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Chopping dry corn?

[@Onealfarm9967]

@@Thomasfarmstn makes the best cow chow but it’s feed right to the cows kinda like grinding corn just with a lot of stalk they have mixers to add hay and other stuff with it

[@Doug-In-TN]

I've been wondering how your corn harvest was going. Got some rain showers here today. Might have been wild hogs came thru and eat your corn. Be safe

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We got floods yesterday. Beans looks like they will be decent.

[@staceygay-s6k]

Keep your head up buddy. It'll get better

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Been looking at beans today. I think they will be a lot better.

[@LampleyBrothersFarming]

We have that black dust in the north end of the county bad too.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

I think everyone has it

[@harvestingharrolds1086]

Those sending units are a pain on those combines. Mine went out on my 2144 2 years ago.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We got a new one yesterday. Try to bypass it and hydraulics don’t work. Pulled the fuse to the beeper.

[@Husker3435]

Dadgum, you know it’s a rough harvest when you’re wishing the corn would make 100 bu/ac…sorry to hear it Russ. Take care and God Bless all y’all 🇺🇸

[@Thomasfarmstn]

I think the soybeans will be ok. Can’t win them all.

[@THEVROD64]

Need to use some Status herbicide to get those Sicklepod. they can zap lots of moisture. Safe Harvest. Enjoy your video. Texas

[@Thomasfarmstn]

I try to use an effective chemical program over the board. We do cost comparisons with several different prescriptions. I went with the cheapest this year. With the price of corn and drought I didn’t spend the money that I did last year

[@gregrhodes8451]

Russell! My corn is not good

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Mine ain’t either

[@michaelhelmick8225]

We're getting rain in Decatur, Alabama. About the only thing in the area that's any count is double crop beans.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

I’ve been looking at beans this morning. Later the better.

[@nathanalmond8280]

Dang I have been hoping you were going to have a better yield than you thought. Hope it does better on the last of the fields Russ.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

The part of the field that wasn’t in the test plot did probably 90. The test plot brought it down.

[@TAHDAHFarm]

Hope your grain prices turned up like ours. We had a $.10 increase for a one day rally.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Yes they are up over the past few weeks.

[@Machines85]

This Combine is so powerful! Watch it handle endless corn fields with no trouble at all.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Sure is

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Good years and bad years. Sorry this year isn’t going so well Russ

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Reminds me of 2012

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Wow, that was all over in the test plot 😳😳😳 Sounds like pioneer was really bad. Glad the oil pressure ordeal was just a sensor!! Boy that black dust is awful!! Yes sir yall have to make a living too!! I hooe things level out and the storm doesn't hit too hard. Thank you Russ for bringing us along!!😁😁😁🇺🇲🇺🇲👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🌽🌽🌽🌽

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Getting rain is all today. Maybe nothing too bad.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

@Thomasfarmstn I have been watching that hurricane or TS, it looked like TN was in it's sights again 😢
