One would think. Hasn't materialized in the futures yet anyway.

Think of the mess. That is all worthless. Chop it up and use more chem next year for the volunteer corn.

Is there any way to use that for anything if it can be recovered or is it just fertilizer now.
I imagine if a guy needs silage he can get it cheap.

Depending on how far along it was there probably isn't much viable seed out if it dies fairly soon. Could be wrong though. If even half the seed is viable...Ugh.

I had some serious wind damage on some corn and dropped like 70 bu/ac off last year. (That was awful enough) and yeah the volunteer was a pain.

37 consecutive days over 110 degrees and counting, new record though so we have that going for us . . .

That's just wild looking. And scary. My Dad is up in Iowa City and got half his shingles ripped off.

Hah, no not really. We're still in monsoon season, so humidity has been much higher than it was back in early June. But it is falling apparently; we're down to 17% today.

They told us initially that it would be Thursday or Friday. Now they’re saying it might be as late as Monday or Tuesday

MCCALLSBURG, Iowa —
Towns around Ames are struggling with more than just power. McCallsburg is one place where the city said conserving water is vital.

Residents were happy Wednesday morning as power was returned in McCallsburg, but water is the next concern. The city released a statement on its Facebook page that reads in part, "another reminder to conserve water... All we have is what's in the tower."

"We haven't really been using a lot of water. Anyway, it's not fun to take a shower with cold water so it makes sense to conserve what we have," said Kaia Hopkins, a resident.

The city estimates it may take up to 10 days for things to return to normal.

"You have no idea when power is coming back you know. You don't have power to fill the water tower. You don't have water so you have to conserve what you have," said Jesse Richardson, a resident.

Wednesday afternoon the city posted on its Facebook page that water was being pumped into the tower, but still urges residents to conserve water.
