TRUMP: “Windmills, and the rest of this "JUNK," are the most expensive and inefficient energy in the world, is destroying the beauty of the environment…”
We just keep shooting ourselves in the foot by making questionable an most likely off label pesticide applications. Wind speeds over about a 30-40 min time frame from a weather station two miles from the field.
Corn harvested at 29% moisture: 303 bpa
2.5 weeks later same field harvested at 17%: 284 bpa
(Yields are at 15% moisture)
The phantom is out this fall.
How wind turbines are built.
Imagine believing these eyesores are an efficient use of resources, let alone "green" and "environmentally-friendly". 🤦♂️
(1) I am remembering Leonard Funk today, a hard charing paratrooper who earned the Medal of Honor with the 82nd Airborne in 1945. Funk was one of the most decorated paratroopers of the War, earning the Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star Medal, and three Purple Hearts. Honor and remember First Sergeant Funk! #usarmy #paratrooper #82ndairborne #worldwarII #worldwar2 #hero #leader
Heading into this week's Midwest heat wave, I wanted to post the current accumulated stress degree day map.
Calculated by adding degrees above 86°F for each day.
Example: if today is 95°F, 9 SDDs are accumulated
>140 SDDs could result in corn yield loss
Data: PRISM April 1
@HettingerPlants@PrecisionPlant@hettfarm I’ve been waiting for this reveal all spring, trying to figure out if it spelled something from the road as I drove by. Looks great!
