@BrianBledsoe Those are different for heat, that’s interesting. Have an opinion either way?

[Martin Lager @lagermarty]

@BrianBledsoe Waiting on it to get here. Just south of the 83/24 intersection.

@VanillaDanzilla @JonathanDansel @RavenFootballBC @JoelOsborn_BC @coach_JLeonard That’s a good school

@AMillershaski What are you running?

[Martin Lager @lagermarty]

@ksufearless Hybrid and fertility?

[Martin Lager @lagermarty]

@SiekerSales How did your low pop fare compared to normal?

[Martin Lager @lagermarty]

@LucasAHaag @AMillershaski @KStateSoilH2O @SWKSAgronomy 8 feet? What are your thoughts on pulling from that deep?

[Martin Lager @lagermarty]

@LucasAHaag @ksufarmboy @ahorinek @MichaelWSpike @gregzimpleman Not saying it doesn’t pull any. When it does it takes more energy and typically it is for nutrients, not always but typically

[Martin Lager @lagermarty]

@ahorinek @ksufarmboy @MichaelWSpike @gregzimpleman Also pushing nutrition deeper running more than an inch to where the plants have to work harder to get it. Big shift in thinking but it works. Also with the cut back coming on water it will be critical to know how to manage correctly.

[Martin Lager @lagermarty]

@ahorinek @ksufarmboy @MichaelWSpike @gregzimpleman Tough to recover when you get behind. But looking at probes out here about every 3-4 days is ideal for watering time. .5 to .8 depending how the plants are reacting. Anything more than that shuts the plant down for a day. Get more water into the plant with less water more often

[Martin Lager @lagermarty]

@ahorinek @MichaelWSpike @gregzimpleman Spot on Aaron. Typically if the plant is drinking deeper it is looking for nutrients.

[Martin Lager @lagermarty]

@ksufearless @LeonardSeeds @BrianBledsoe That’s what I had too

@BrianBledsoe @scottwestacre It was August 7 two years ago

[Martin Lager @lagermarty]

@BrianBledsoe @scottwestacre Two years ago today we had a nasty hail storm. Need the rain but hopefully we miss the white combine.

@EvyanSmith25 @laneallenw @LucasAHaag @AMillershaski Have seen foliar nutrition in tandem with fungicide help.
Mix I have seen ran is from Nutrien, black label, max n pact, reax sulfur, radiate, with a micro package. Helps to restart the plant from the stress event. As soon as you have leaf area run it

@AgronomyChad Curious what a 6 inch soil test says on this situation. Worked soil has more calcium up at the surface vs the notill that has more magnesium? That would allow more water to infiltrate. Maybe not but curious on your thoughts?

[Martin Lager @lagermarty]

@Bkitch1Bodie Roots the best way to improve? Or can we have products?
