Here are the breakeven/bushel cash prices the @farmdoc team are using for the 2025 corn and soybean crops for cash rented and owned farmland.
- This is a roller-crimper planter sowing soybean and terminating a cover crop on the Rademacher Farm in Champaign County, Illinois.
00:00 - Just a random stop on the SW side of Champaign because the silks were turning brown. I picked three ears off the outside row. Surprised the dickens out of me. About six feet tall including the tassel.
00:00 - I am heading to Fargo, ND today. Going the long way right across the middle of Iowa. Last night I went to Effingham, IL straight down I-57 from Champaign. That crop will make your heart sink. Follow along all day long today for a windshield tour.
- PLANTING PROGRESS??? The Chief of the Crops Branch of @usda_nass explains how the Weekly Crop Progress reports are collected, just exactly what the planting progress number means, and has a note about the upcoming June 28 Acreage Report. retweet, please soundcloud.com/narrowrow/how-…
- #pftour25 Final Tour Tallies - Pro Farmer will release its national yield estimates Friday at 1:30pm central.
- 9000bu of barley malting in this one bed. About 30 days from now this will be 2mln bottles of @AnheuserBusch Budweiser or Bud Light.
00:00 - Fall 1975 | I am 11 years old and we're dumping on the run. Dad had a lot of faith in me. I still like driving the grain cart. When we were hauling to town (across old Rt. 66) we'd dump two wagons on the run. I recall standing on the seat to see the back one.
- FYI there was a serious traffic jam in Arthur, Illinois early this morning getting into Horse Progress Days. Way cool stuff. I'm putting together a piece about a 24-foot horse-drawn sickle-mower.
00:00 - NOTE from USDA - Nationally, corn left to be planted was 3.63 million acres. Soybeans left to be planted for the U.S. was 11.5 million acres. These estimates are based on data provided by respondents who were contacted between May 30 and June 16.
