Humeston, IA | Monsanto is covering for the Roundup, I've been told, as they are using Roundup Original Max or WeatherMax. The last pass they sprayed was with Butyrac. Ouch! Some of these guys have bottom fields that take nearly a mile to get to over the hills and such, so by the time you take a few wagons/trucks over them, you're wishing you had grown something that didn't yield so much but paid the bills. Here are the stats for the subject area, Grundy Co: Commodity ↑ | Practice | Year | State | County | District | Planted All Purposes | Harvested | Yield | Production | | Wheat All | Total For Crop | 2003 | Missouri | Grundy | 20 | 5,300 acres | 5,000 acres | 67.6 bushel | 338,000 bushel | | Wheat All | Total For Crop | 2004 | Missouri | Grundy | 20 | 6,500 acres | 5,600 acres | 48.8 bushel | 273,000 bushel | | Wheat All | Total For Crop | 2005 | Missouri | Grundy | 20 | 2,600 acres | 2,500 acres | 48 bushel | 120,000 bushel | | Corn For Grain | Total For Crop | 2003 | Missouri | Grundy | 20 | 24,700 acres | 23,900 acres | 62.1 bushel | 1,483,000 bushel | | Corn For Grain | Total For Crop | 2004 | Missouri | Grundy | 20 | 25,200 acres | 24,800 acres | 144.7 bushel | 3,588,000 bushel | | Corn For Grain | Total For Crop | 2005 | Missouri | Grundy | 20 | 29,600 acres | 28,600 acres | 110.1 bushel | 3,150,000 bushel | | Sorghum For Grain | Total For Crop | 2003 | Missouri | Grundy | 20 | 2,700 acres | 2,600 acres | 63.5 bushel | 165,000 bushel | | Sorghum For Grain | Total For Crop | 2004 | Missouri | Grundy | 20 | 1,800 acres | 1,800 acres | 84.4 bushel | 152,000 bushel | | Soybeans | Total For Crop | 2003 | Missouri | Grundy | 20 | 61,100 acres | 60,500 acres | 20.8 bushel | 1,256,000 bushel | | Soybeans | Total For Crop | 2004 | Missouri | Grundy | 20 | 63,000 acres | 61,200 acres | 43.8 bushel | 2,679,000 bushel | | Soybeans | Total For Crop | 2005 | Missouri | Grundy | 20 | 63,400 acres | 63,000 acres | 38.4 bushel | 2,420,000 bushel |
