@jrlikeswhisky Typical corn post recipe or roundup+2,4D/dicamba. I could apply warrant or harness later.

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

The three row just wasn't going to cut it today. First time this thing has ever seen non gmo corn. 2 acres of open pollinated bloody butcher red corn for whiskey/bourbon/bread going in the ground. Toward the end you can see the plot we tested it on last year thats now sweet corn

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

@BillSpiegel Nice! Sounds good Bill!

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

@Neb_Phil Hah, I think it's mostly wild mustard and curly dock. The army worms took out this couple acre patch of grass last year and this is what grew back.

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

@Qrds1234 This our first year scaling it up outside the sweet corn plot and garden. We saved a few ears from last year for seed also.

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

@Parrtweets Sure can https://t.co/ST2R013XxD

@Qrds1234 Green Haven out of NY state

@billcrowder13 Very similar!

@1boilerfan Big fan

@traderchicago7 @ErickFarmer73 We'd get along. Saving $4/lb cutting it yourself vs the prepackaged primes

@ckleene @BenjaminNething We have a small commercial electric one off Amazon we use in the office 1-2x a day. Heat up is a little slow but works great otherwise.

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

Starting to green up around here in cattle land. Heavies a little warm

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

@ebenkampfarms I think that's a huge challenge in modern agriculture: starting kids at a small enough scale that they can learn and have fun growing something

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

Eight brood sows aren't going to buy you a car like the stories of my folks getting started 60 years ago.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't give your kids a few acres or some livestock or an old building to try to stimulate the ole ag genes.

Experimenting is entrepreneurship

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

This new tech is revolutionizing the ag economy

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

@dane_berggren Erasing early/planting sins are worth the money but very difficult to calculate the ROI since you don't know when the forgiving rains will come

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

I didn't have much experience prior to Flyover of working directly with customers and overseeing a small team. Receiving a review like this shows we're on the right track. I may be TOO involved at times, but I'm really proud of our team and the experience/service we can provide.

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

@bl_ag_inc I've never worked a bean field except to incorporate manure, and even then I'm not sure it's the right choice. Can get away with a lot more when doing continuous corn.

[Joe Knobbe @Cornobbe]

@_TheMizzouTiger @DanBigham Can save a lot not going to a new Hagie or Deere, non exact apply helps. If you're not covering 20k+ acres a year, it takes too long to pay.
