You’d be hard pressed to find two men who have positively impacted Alabama agriculture, especially row crops, than @spann & @Ron_Smith23. A big thanks to both of them for speaking to W. Ala. producers today! @ACESedu
All I want for my birthday today is for you to forward this post: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16
Soybean rust detected in a soybean sentinel plot in Elmore Co. Alabama today. I was surprised to find it with the dry conditions in the state in recent weeks. I doubt the disease will be a problem for most growers because of its late arrival this year #Soybean#Rust@CropNetwork
Cotton crop is late in NE Alabama but leaf-footed bugs and stink bugs are migrating to cotton now. Growers need to be scouting their fields for % boll damage. Most of NE Alabama got a good rain this week but there are still dry pockets.
7th-generation Alabama farmer Larkin Martin shares why access to #pesticides matters.
“Farmers need safe and effective pesticides to harvest crops. Otherwise, we would lose crops to weeds, insects and diseases.”

Southern corn rust was found in 2 counties in SW Alabama. Orange to light brown tightly clustered oval pustules appear on the upper leaf surface. Spores within the pustules are orange as they rupture through the leaf surface. Rust can reduce yields #Rust#Corn@CropNetwork
Good turnout at the Crops Scout School at the Tennessee Valley Research and Extension Center today. We were able to record a quick podcast episode too discussing the excessive rainfall and crop planting situation in North AL this year!! @ACESedu@AuburnAg
I recently shared results out of our deer repellents study with one promising solution to deter deer from browsing row crops. The best performing product is from the Weed Science Lab of Dr. Aniruddha Maity at @AuburnCSES. New trials to come!!!
Many cotton acres across Alabama are yet to be planted due to continuous rains in May. Listen in to thoughts on how to think about moving forward. @ScottGraham72@PrecAgEngineer@Ron_Smith23@CadeGrace64 https://t.co/s5IUIywBnr
