We have wheat, so its been done for a while. Anyway, here around my college on the crappier side of the state, most of the harvesting is done. Cooperative weather helped out, and most farmers had the corn cut by around the first part of November. I bet that you guys like the corn price right now !

We are in the middle of stripping tobacco, it needs to rain here so we can book down some more, right now we are sitting around with nothing but cattle work and we need to get another 36k lbs stripped before the end of the year (not gonna happen!!!) Might have to sell some cattle

Cotton Picking is in full swing... My dad has an 80 acre farm which in very small by comparison to most farmers in our area, but it keeps ihis 82 year old butt going, which is why I like it. We have been in the top cotton producing counties in the U.S. for a long time, and the top a few times. This is Dooly County, Georgia. Our farm produced nearly 2 bales per acre this year just like last year, whill everyone else is hoping for 1/2 bale-1bale. I feel for them, but pop got rain when no one else did, and when he didn't, he just turn on the center pivot irrigation.

All of ours is out of the field, and I got to make a trip home to start mowing stalks so I can get some rye or wheat planted for a cover crop.....

If the rain holds we should be done this week with the last of the beans. Corn and Milo are all finished up.

Thank God you guys are almost done!! You were really starting to wear me out at the store

J/K We finished our 388 acres of beans over the weekend. Some people are done, but most aren't. Some still have 1000 acres to go!

I'm about to go harvest some pesky deer with my .45-70. Keeps em out of the beans. The deer have a high moisture content right now, from all the rain we've had, and the yield is up. It'll be higher here in a couple hours.
