@FarmerFrase@LowBoomLowDrift@breannetidemann@Plantmore1@nozzle_guy@charlesmgeddes The fact that the publics view of gmo where one specific trait is precisely altered leaving others intact vs random mutagenesis with little to no control over what else may be altered and still call it non gmo show how marketing trumps science. Most farmers dont even know
@LowBoomLowDrift@breannetidemann@Plantmore1@nozzle_guy@charlesmgeddes Errors are just natural errors that occur when plant cells dna replicates and randomly there are errors in the copy no different than any other living organism. Things such as radiation just increase the rate at which the errors in transcription occur.
@breannetidemann@Plantmore1@nozzle_guy@LowBoomLowDrift@charlesmgeddes Also explains why they can find resistant plants from feilds that have never had chemical applied. Repeated chem grouping just selects for the mutated plant to survive and reproduce. But as Tom said the likely hood of plants mutating because of the chemical is much less likely
@breannetidemann@Plantmore1@nozzle_guy@LowBoomLowDrift@charlesmgeddes There is has been a huge industry wide misunderstanding of resistance and Tom is correct. Mutations are always occurring naturally either via errors or external factors such as radiation from the sun, Same was they create clearfeild products. Also why Australia more resistance.
@BantrySeedFarms Fiberglass rheem so far has been good longer than standard steel tank. Haven’t had it long enough to know for sure but already easily outlasted steel. Other than Changing elements tank should never leak.
@BDuchek@oldmangord Do you have to thrash it harder than other invigor pos shatter varieties? Going to get into some Tommorow but we swathed it to kill the stalks they were very green still and didn’t think reglone would reach down far enough
@Derekprice9@Grainline1 Thanks that would be great I used a foot throttle one but it is spring loaded so doesn’t hold rpm without pinning it in place this would be a much better option
@smarchibald Have had a cross auger motor fail and cause similar issue. Had to make up a jumper hose to bypass motor to find which motor it was cause I beilve they run in series.
