@KoopJohn I’m waiting for someone to develop the combine crew cab . Got to have room for wife, kids, Seed dealer, landlord, etc

@NicoleStecklein Is this an outcome of having physoderma brown spot on plants earlier in the season? Does fungicide help prevent it from getting bad enough too be susceptible to node breakage?

[Michael Murphy @MJMurphy84]

@KoopJohn Awesome to have help! , can't wait till mine can flip boxes and mow!

[Michael Murphy @MJMurphy84]

@FredButt6 @UIWeedSci @ISUWeeds @BillJohnson53 I would have pulled it.

@ColinCowherd @jasonrmcintyre OKC should have tried to send Russ. Like him, but rather build around George

[Michael Murphy @MJMurphy84]

@ColinCowherd I'm KD, I take the option, stay with golden state 1 more year, get ready for playoffs next year, win a title and free agent after that. Why leave now to go to Knicks and watch them lose. He could not play all year and still be in a spot for a ring next year

This video was from a year ago, but the agronomics still hold true. While many of us are rained out from harvest, might be good to take a look at corn kernel size and weight by various hybrids. Go weigh a few ears and see what you find! Attached is an easy how-to video.

@Kruger_Neal Good thing to know, but so many jokes when a sales team is learning CPR

[Norb Boyle @Iowadirtboss]

Puzzling leaf cupping near waterway possibly drift from neighboring corn that followed low spot?

[FarmPolicy @FarmPolicy]

4/ Cash rents for high-productivity farmland in central #Illinois are averaging near $260. A $260 rent would generate a -$32 return for #corn ($228 operator and land returns – $260 cash rent) and a -$35 returns for #soybeans https://t.co/TfbPYy9Mrh

@dpshow Vanna White career salary game time!

[Nicole Stecklein @NicoleStecklein]

Couple reports of armyworms defoliating corn in NE Iowa. We typically see it on outside rows, however this field was the opposite! Rye cover crop likely attracted first generation, which then increased in number 2nd gen for this damage

Farmer Dave Kestel: "I understand they're trying to help us. I get that. But it's not a long-term fix. It's a pacifier so to speak." @adrianasdiaz: "Farmers are self-sustaining people. So is this government aid seen as a bailout that you'd rather not have?" Kestel: "Bingo."
