Way cool ,,Makes me wish fo rspud harvest again .
But I must ask What is the differnce between seed corn and regular corn ?

[uptown]

  I live deep in corn country and that's big time farming even by our standards (Iowa).
 I guess they really do, do it bigger in Texas

Some silage was cut by here, but not as much as last year. Seems there was more alfalfa then usual since it was so wet this spring.

Some beans are being cut and just a sliver of corn is ready. Harvest here will be late. Some may not even be ready by the time we get our first frist

Corn's being shelled and beans are being cut around here...but I can't wait til cotton season

[batch]

I probably got 2-3 weeks (hoping dry days) before my beans are ready......... and probably a week or 2 after for corn......... was cold and wet start this year so everything got in a little late round here

Eastern Oregon: Corn being harvested, onions- LOTS of onions, and sugar beets will follow when it frosts real good.

We had a very wet planting season.  The majority of the fields we had set for cotton was flooded, so we had to plant beans because it was too late for cotton when it dried.  We still have a lot of cotton on the high grounds.

Nice Pictures Whiskey.  I'll try to get some pics when the cotton harvest comes around 

[Banshee7]

As promised here are some pictures from yesterday.  This year we only had 800 acres of cotton, so I didn't work for the farmer.  Although, it has been a tradition since I was a little kid to ride in the pickers or help around.  As I got older I was driving...

Saying that farm dwarfs any with which I have experience is an understatement.  That is quite the operation!  You just don't see farms that big in Western NY...

I thought you harvested corn after it already dried out in the field.

Here in Illinois there are still fields full of corn awaiting harvest.  It's very strange.  Most farmers are finished long before now, but the wet spring pushed the planting very late this year.

Then on top of that, the corn that has been coming out of the fields this year is very wet, which is good for my Dad and brothers who own and operate a Propane distributing company.  Lots of propane getting sold for corn dryers this year.
