Soil sampling is in full swing at @ChsAg ! Today's volatile fertilizer markets make soil sampling more important than ever. Utilizing zone management helps locate sufficient/deficient areas within the field to help get the most out of your fertilizer investment. @AGVISE#Agellum
U.S. #phosphate values are $250 - $300/st higher than July 1, 2020. Assuming:
- You didn't apply everything in the fall
AND
- You didn't secure phosphate values at cheaper values
How will you approach application rates this spring?
Starting to see the effect of recent rain events on scab risk in the state. Susceptible wheat varieties flowering are at high risk for most of the state. Moderate susceptible varieties also at moderate to high risk in certain areas in the state.
@CodyWahlstrom Would've liked to have gotten it sprayed earlier but mother nature has not been very cooperative for spraying this year. Try to include as many effective modes of action as possible in herbicide plan. Warrant was applied with this mix along with Sulfentrazone + Metribuzin Pre.
Just because dicamba might be unavailable doesn't mean you are out of options to control waterhemp. Fomesafen + Roundup 5 DAA. Replaced crop oil with @CHSAgronomy Fixate Pro and Level Best. Got awesome control with minimal crop response.
@CodyWahlstrom Plan on checking back in a couple weeks. Wouldn't doubt if there will be a few escapes but didn't get 100% control on waterhemp with dicamba last year either.
North Valley City plot looking good!! Corn V9 and early maturity soybeans just reaching R1. Whole bunch of cool things going on in the plot this year in addition to the usual variety trials. Population X N rate trials on corn as well as population and fungicide trials on soybean.
Quick reminder of the importance of getting pre-emerge herbicide applied. Spray skip in the middle of a field. Sulfentrazone + Metribuzin 32 days after application.
Couldn't have asked for a better day to plant the @ChsAg Valley City plot. @AllegiantSeed@Asgrow_DEKALB@NKSeeds. Looking forward to the data that it will bring this fall!
First load of @WestBredWheat going out from recently added wheat seed treatment plant in Valley City today. Treated with CHS Apprise and Unlocked. Hope to finally get some seed in the ground this weekend! @ChsAg @CHSAgronomy
Pods, pods, pods! Asgrow 03X7's just starting to turn in Cass County, ND. Looking like this variety is going to have another awesome year despite the late spring. @Asgrow_DEKALB@ChsAg
Thanks to everyone who attended the Valley City plot tour this morning. Was an awesome morning talking Precision Ag, in-furrow fertility, new varieties and traits. Can't wait to see the data this plot will provide come fall!
Episode 4 of the #soilsense podcast is available - hear about precision agriculture from NDSU’s Dave Franzen and Anthony Thilmony (farmer in Valley City). Lots of great tips in this one! https://t.co/TA9Ml6O7wU @timhammerich@ndcorn@NDSoybean#soilhealth
