The next week is going to be tough on a lot of fields. I hate to see it like this when the forecast has no end in sight to the intense heat and lack of rain.
I hope I'm wrong but I'm thinking this is the way its going to be until Oct-Nov.
I have 2- 5 acre fields in great shape that will be ready in about a week. It will stay on the stalk until we cut it for deer or dove. My dad left a field that would have had corn until March 15 if he hadn't bushogged it first of March.
