I've been out since Sept 6 which was our opener here in MD. Its been better this year in the early season than years passed. I believe its because we had some good rains this spring and summer which has resulted in 90% of the cornfields around here are still standing. Looks as if they will be left to stand much later this year and when they are cut they will be picked and not just cut down to feed the cows like the last 3 years. Good luck to everyone.
