My co-op last growing season had so much corn, they had to store three million bushels on the ground. This year seems to be a bit more balanced between beans and corn.

I on the other hand am at the mercy of the highest hay prices in decades due to the most horrible crop following a cold dry winter in Wisconsin. Things are so bad I'm feeding corn stalks this year. Dry matter will not go back into the soil this winter I'll tell ya. I have a neighbor who is even using soybean stover as silage. Many hayfields died out after first crop this year.
