A neighboring farm still has about 1/2 of a field of beans left, and unless their combine broke they've got no excuse to not have it off other than just being slow. Now there's snow, and there's no way it's coming off for quite a while.
One of my supervisors at work still had about 25 acres of corn to do, but they're waiting until there's a nice frost in the ground because the ground is rented, but it was basically stolen form them buy a neighboring farmer. He went over their head and offered more money, and they were never notified that another offer was made until the contract was already signed for 2010. Said this same guy has done it to quite a few neighbors of his, so he doesn't have too many friends and nobody will be running to help him out when he breaks down.
We were done chopping corn on Oct. 12th. We don't combine anything except oats in the summer, so no worries there. Did plan to plow one more field a few weeks ago, but the frost was already in the ground enough to give troubles. Couldn't get any traction because it was a hay field and the ground was frozen enough I just sat and spun. I think the frost might be out some now though with the nice snow cover we've got.
