@BlakeAspenNE @dademcdonald I am a 98 grad… I can’t tell you all those years but my sister was an 89 grad and she had 18 in her class and I think 88 was about the same. We had leaner years in the mid and late 90’s around the time of lb806 and lb1114

@Bradleychoquet2 @sevendollarcorn Depends on the year and environment…. I know that’s a “cop out” answer. There are other stressors that can make a plant more susceptible to disease

@_TheMizzouTiger @Cornobbe I was talking in @Cornobbe area….

[Buck the Ag Guy @Bucktheagguy]

@_TheMizzouTiger @Cornobbe I should of said as “detailed” not efficient

[Buck the Ag Guy @Bucktheagguy]

@_TheMizzouTiger @Cornobbe Even if you have it on the planter as a whole, it’s a good start. As efficient as on every row, no. But it’s a start.

[Buck the Ag Guy @Bucktheagguy]

@_TheMizzouTiger @Cornobbe That is the typical “average” accross the entire field. Most fields have some lower yielding spots that just don’t require the population to maximize ROI. Especially if you have a number that can flex out.

[Buck the Ag Guy @Bucktheagguy]

@Cornobbe @_TheMizzouTiger I really like variable rate planting to reduce this risk. In your area, I have seen a lot of 24-34k swings but the 34k are in very isolated pockets. Also higher pops are very determinant on hybrid and may never need to be that high

[Buck the Ag Guy @Bucktheagguy]

@_TheMizzouTiger @Cornobbe I can’t remember who ran the study but they showed that one of the limitations of twin row for is the 6” space between the rows should be significantly hotter than the 24” area between the rows. Like 10 degrees or more hotter. It would cook the plants

[Buck the Ag Guy @Bucktheagguy]

@sevendollarcorn @Bradleychoquet2 Ryan, you are correct on the latency period. Have seen guys treat and have no spots show up after treatment due to the latency period of infection to symptoms

@254farmer @Greg_Stierwalt What part of the state are you in?

[Buck the Ag Guy @Bucktheagguy]

@254farmer @Greg_Stierwalt @maya_cornheads what day you? The stuff I saw was 12” or higher broke off.

@FarmandOil Part 3
…20 years ago, farmers had to do a lot of work to fill in holes and move sand/silt away. Some fields never recovered and are now pasture/wetlands.

Both are horrible situations.

[Buck the Ag Guy @Bucktheagguy]

@FarmandOil Part 2
Flood events, especially late ones, already have all inputs out and can ravage an area that traditionally has higher yielding crops. It can affect soil but it can also affect general topography of fields. Thinking back to the flood of the Missouri River in Nebraska/iowa….

@food_porn Imperial is not real butter…..

[Jason Schley @JasonSchley]

We spend billions on fertilizer, yet debate supporting biology to help crops actually access it.
Research shows phosphorus use efficiency is often below 25% in the year of application, with massive legacy P buildup instead. Root exudates and microbes solubilize bound nutrients that ppm-chasing alone leaves locked up — while adding salts and degrading structure/gas exchange. As general statement the Industry is broken, we complain about it but keep doing the same thing over and over again.

Your corn is at tassel. Your window is closing.
Most of what you applied never reaches the ear. Here's how to change that.
