@matt_montgo Congrats!!!!

[Erika Parker @ejehle]

@plowwife agree 110%!!! We are blessed to be a farm family - which means we are all in it together. I know everyone is wired different, but I love harvest - and to have everyone in the same field - doesn’t happen as often as I wish - but… truly blessed moments!!

@Storm5farms @ChannelSeed @ChannelSeedNIL I noticed ear leaves turning brown on one side a few weeks ago. The leaf was ripped a little at the collar, and then the song “Fat Bottomed Girls” started playing in my head😂😂 I’m ok w thinking in song at times😊 Nice ears!!!

@jasonlcvcmn Absolutely awesome!!! Lowest stave of the barrel! And…. The fertility deltas are at least showing same trend we have been seeing in the past two dry years. Nice!!!

@cf_farms7 I have a Burrus one for US 13, one of the first widespread double cross hybrids in the 1930s. It’s in my top 5 favorites. And the DEKALB ones that list the # research sites by states - also in top 5😊🌽

@WestForkFarm Thankful you are ok, and thankful you shared your experience and perspective. Counting blessings a bit more with reading this….🙏🙏

[Erika Parker @ejehle]

@cf_farms7 Having them in the cab, in the truck, in the kitchen, in the side by side, - anywhere with their family during harvest is a happy place! That not the short straw - that’s the jackpot! You are doing great things for them by experiences, responsibilities and relationships. IMO 😊

[Erika Parker @ejehle]

@karl_bobholz Agree 110%!!!

[Erika Parker @ejehle]

@kILtedbreeder @caseysgenstore That is an absolutely beautiful ear!

[Erika Parker @ejehle]

@kILtedbreeder This is currently the song going thru my head as I’m looking at different hybrids😊 love this time of year!

Tuesday was a day of spider mites. Beans AND CORN! Check out my hat. That’s what happens when you walk through a field of corn with mites from top to bottom. Just because you’ve gotten some rains, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re done…

Fun fact...each corn tassel may create from 2 to 25 million pollen grains. Mid 80* temperatures is ideal for pollination. #Thinkburrus

[Erika Parker @ejehle]

Pretty neat perspective!!!

[Devin Nichols @kILtedbreeder]

Without rain to wash it away, it’s easy to see how much pollen overproduction there is in corn. Millions of pollen grains produced per plant compared to hundreds of silks.

The whole nursery will look like the Yellow Brick Road if we don’t get a shower soon!

[Jim Donnelly @JimDonnelly1]

Seems early for NIL, but found a CRW pupa while digging roots. Years like this it’s not uncommon to see these earlier than normal. Still though, lots of smaller larvae still, and lots of feeding to go.

[Kris Ehler @Bean_Dork]

After seeing @talkingrootworm post on volunteer corn I decided to dig one myself to look for CRW larvae. Pretty sure these guys are already pupa stage!

[Erika Parker @ejehle]

@JimDonnelly1 On point!!!

[Erika Parker @ejehle]

@FarmerRyanIL That is a collection that truly makes me smile!!
