One would think. Hasn't materialized in the futures yet anyway.

Think of the mess. That is all worthless. Chop it up and use more chem next year for the volunteer corn.
Is there any way to use that for anything if it can be recovered or is it just fertilizer now.
I imagine if a guy needs silage he can get it cheap.
Depending on how far along it was there probably isn't much viable seed out if it dies fairly soon. Could be wrong though. If even half the seed is viable...Ugh.
I had some serious wind damage on some corn and dropped like 70 bu/ac off last year. (That was awful enough) and yeah the volunteer was a pain.
Just got back from Branson today. We live in east central Jasper county and although I’m an amateur, I would estimate we had winds here in excess of 90 miles per hour. We had a derecho go through here about years ago with confirmed winds of 85mph - this is worse. Larger limbs snapped, two trees that were unharmed the last time were completely uprooted. At Le Grand which is about 20 miles north of here an amateur weather station clocked a 106mph gust. We might not have power until Friday.
Yesterday was my birthday even and we had to come home to this. I will post some pics tomorrow. I’m pretty tired after getting the generator running and all that.
This derecho was really wide. Once a derecho gets moving they move through really fast. The last one had peak wind gusts for maybe 10 minutes. My mother-in-law and my neighbor said this lasted for almost 40. That’s pretty crazy considering that the gist front was moving east at almost 70mph (which is insane all by itself).

Hah, no not really. We're still in monsoon season, so humidity has been much higher than it was back in early June. But it is falling apparently; we're down to 17% today.
