Saw a coop agronomist posted a picture of a soil thermometer in the ground on social media. Must almost be time to plant. Is it just me or do the agronomists soil thermometers always read 10 degrees colder? #agX#corn#soybeans#plant26
Caught an overhead view of Jake Bamrick spraying our tall corn. Despite the all the rain we still opted to hire a ground rig instead of an airplane. You can see the fungicide penetrate the canopy. #iowafarmer#corn#approachprima
Hey @DOGE, please investigate @USPS. Some people/businesses are not set up for electronic payment so the mail is still necessary. Iโve had 5 letters not make it to their recipient in the last month. Funny how junk mail always gets delivered on time though.
I love how fast โwell we just as well plant somethingโ turns into we got most of our corn in the ground before April 20th. #plant25#Iowa#corn#soybeans
@CVDmarkets I hate first year corn following corn. Iโve found if a farmer is on the fence about doing corn or beans on a field and goes to their fertilizer/seed sales person the sales person will probably encourage corn. The fertilizer retailer makes more money off corn.
@RandyPark15@PhilWCC Adjusting hail insurance claims has a similar vibe to it. Taking the time to read and understand the product you are buying(and how it will be adjusted if you have a claim) prevents a lot of useless stress/anger later.
@the_birdfarmer A lot of coop employees are people who love agriculture and didnโt have the opportunity to farm. Good for them for getting a vacation. Probably isnโt smart to tag the coop in the post.
@Jones6807 Same. Appears like some of it volatilizes or leaches right away while some of it clings so tightly to soil organic matter it takes several years to become available. Crazy.
