@BlaseFarms Maybe a guy should punt on those if the control looks better…

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@PkHarveyfarm @Lyonseed Send it in for a saturated cold germ and see if it looks ok.

@SDSUExtCrops Potash? Response from chloride? Soil test levels on both?

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@montebottens @Bkitch1Bodie Just speed up resistance to Clethodim then.

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@SDSUExtCrops What was the chloride levels before? Any research where chloride is low and potassium high? Potash may help in that situation?

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@Bkitch1Bodie Did you leave checks out there? How much N were you applying before cutting out 45 lbs?

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@bw_fusion Good Marketing.

Sounds like variability in soil sampling to me.

I think 3rd party testing would benefit the consumer and not the vendor.

@broketard @JasonSchley Could be. Too many unknowns.

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@JasonSchley @broketard This isn’t quality information. No replication. No showing of rates being used. Correlation is not causation.

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@JasonSchley @broketard Where is the replication?

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@GoettlFarms1 Visual proof? Any yield advantage or positive ROI with replication?

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@JasonSchley Incentives shape belief. It’s ok to be skeptical.

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@zackyoungquist Silly question. If you are a farmer and had a leg up on growing 40 bu more corn with a $50 reduction in costs why not capitalize on it by buying more ground and growing more yield vs sharing it with others?

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@JasonSchley @TrevorR27764896 What do all the BWfusion products total up to with fert costs?

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@Bkitch1Bodie 20-25 lbs of N is all you apply?

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@JasonSchley I would try and get some replicated nitrogen checks in there so there is good data.

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@JasonSchley Any replicated checks of different N rates to see if there would be a yield difference? N soil test before in those areas?

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@josh_sayler What herbicides did you spray on your other wheat? I hear of too many guys still using 2,4-D or dicamba in wheat and that would likely hurt yields.

[George Sperry @gcsperry]

@ChetEdinger @gwiesefarms Did the Delaro challenge last year replicated on 4 fields. 2 each corn on corn and corn on wheat stubble. Could pick it out on NDVI but couldn’t get a positive ROI last year. 175-225 bu corn. Common Rust was the main disease.
