spoke to a good farmer friend yesterday who also is a seed dealer...he said he will harvesting his corn as early as possible, as back in another dry year, 2012, there was a lot of corn that blew over towards fall or during fall...evidently in the dry conditions the plant somehow lets the ear of corn have the moisture, and the stalk becomes weaker because of it...I do recall vividly the terrible situation that that caused...many many acres of corn blew over, making it unharvestable...the wildlife may have benefited...anyway, he told me he's gonna be harvesting early, and I'm sure he'll advise other seed customers to do the same, as I have to believe the finger gets pointed at him anytime something goes wrong with a crop...I know for a fact that's what happens, even if it's not the seed dealer's fault!
