Another thing to consider about the drought is the amount of double cropped wheat/soybeans. I know of some fields that have been planted for weeks and have never sprouted. Too dry.

Two more things to consider. Talking corn here.

In drought years aflotoxin goes sky high. The corn could be rejected or more than likely heavily docked at the elevator when brought in.

Also in drought years, nitrates will increase in the corn stocks. The high nitrates cannot be used in silage. A lot of hurt for those feeding silage.
