I swathed about 75 acres yesterday and all I seen was 6 quail.... Its not lookin good, folks.
Definitely not looking good, can't remember the last time I saw corn being cut in July.prairiefirepointers wrote:I spend most of yesterday (and will be all weekend) swathing CRP patches to be baled for hay...

The field we picked up the swather in that my brother had finished the day before was a corn crop. It was swathed down for bales....jarbo03 wrote:Definitely not looking good, can't remember the last time I saw corn being cut in July.prairiefirepointers wrote:I spend most of yesterday (and will be all weekend) swathing CRP patches to be baled for hay...

Yeah I hear ya... Some think that rain is a cure-all.. Consequently, the damage has been done. It doesn't really matter a great deal how much moisture we get now. Although, it will help some. It ain't gona turn this pumpkin into a carriage.tommyboy72 wrote:We have had 3 or 4 days in a row of really good rain here but we also had some hail last night and 70 mile an hour straight winds. Looked like a hurricane outside. The hail and high winds only lasted about 20-30 minutes but the rain was heavy for awhile turning into a slow soaker overnight. I don't think the late rain is going to make up for the drought and heat all summer and the hail and wind probably wasn't good either so I am not looking for good numbers here. I wanted to travel north about 40-50 miles up into Kansas in Morton county but a buddy told me that 50,000 acres of public grassland burned up in a fire so I am not looking for things to be too good there either. I might try and make a trip over around Packsaddle around Arnette and see how things are this year. Definitely a year to travel rather than hunt around home.
