Dear Mother —

The persistent Gophers are no more. These varmints have been a real nuisance, however we employed various methods to deter them from further destruction.

Lt. Z’s take over was ferocious and deadly. The masked crusader ran the varmints out of the state.

@BrentJFF I would also be looking for RCR as it’s been confirmed around your area. While you’re looking at the lower stem, split the stem and look for BSR if RCR isn’t found. SDS, BSR, RCR & triazole phytotoxicity have same symptoms

[Kris Ehler @Bean_Dork]

@BrentJFF I’m going with Triazole phytotoxicity. I have never seen sds consistent from one end to the other. Especially if you’re saying you used Saltro. What fungicide did you apply, and when @BrentJFF ?
If it stays in just the upper leaf canopy with zero progression-likely Triazole

@ideus_ryan Do you ever ask yourself “did my parents turn up their jams this loud when they were almost 50 too?”. I do! 😂

@RogerGreeson @MarketMinuteLLC I’ve always heard .5 bushel per degree above 72° during grain fill.

[Kris Ehler @Bean_Dork]

@Notill20Wessel 3 mornings of dense fog post application and Gail force winds are not in soybeans favor.

[Kris Ehler @Bean_Dork]

It’s too early for this $#!+ !!!!

[Seed Dog @seeddog1]

DUOPOLY UPDATE: Bayer and Corteva are expected to combine for 95% of the seed corn market share in 2025. Bayer is at 54% and Corteva at 41%. This includes company owned brands and brands they control through licensing. #agx

What’s your preferred timing on Fulvic on soybeans?

[Kris Ehler @Bean_Dork]

March 14 beans are off and running!

[Kris Ehler @Bean_Dork]

After taking a year off from ultra-early soybean trials, I took advantage of amazing soil conditions to get a 2 fold early trial. Planting date and @MeristemAg Hopper throttle. Also put 26 acres in for 150bu dry land trial. #plant25 #letsGO

Was able to sneak in some February beans again. 5th year doing it. Very dry.

[Ryan R. Nell @WiBeanBag]

Jan 31st, 2025, I may never forget this. Been doing March beans since 2018. Never had a March bean ave under 75. Asking these beans to sit for 3 months, conditions were beautiful. Frost is at 2.5-3 in. Planted 3.5 acres at 140k at 2-2.25 inches. If you don’t try you won’t know! #farming

@gavin_spoor Super clapped out 110. Should have it up on 2 wheels by the weekend.
