2009 harvest in spring 2010/farm girl

We finished 2009 corn crop in spring of 2010. We had record amounts of snow but surprisingly had an extremely dry spring. We got stuck a few times finishing up mainly because we deep ripped this field in spring, as it was CRP the year before. It was really soft but there wasn't a lot of mud. We had to stop a couple times as the combine was overheating- it was 80 degrees that day.

All that grain loading on the road I wonder who ruins the roads

Been there! We use a 60 ton snap strap between the cart and combine. Spring harvest not ideal, but happens sometimes.

@johnsenkenn The corn harvested in April stood through the winter. It was to wet to harvest. We usually don't start planting until May or so. We have to rotate crops so in 2010 we planted ediblr

I don't understand you finished your corn harvest in April, is it a winter corn, have it stood there from last year ? And now what in April, do you plant a new season corn to harwest next year. I don't know much about corn, we don't have much of it here in DK.

Been there done that!!! I have pics of my husbands cousins combining on Easter in 2009 near Devils Lake, ND. They had tracks on the combines and the grain cart and tractor! It is unreal. We too finished our 2009 corn harvest in April 2010.

Very little corn in northwestern Minnesota was combined last fall as the moisture was too high (30%) to economically dry. Then, there was a record fast snow melt this spring and farmers couldn't get it harvested before the ground thawed. They have now been trying to harvest it along with planting at the same time. So, they know what you went through.
