@baldpathologist Is that no-till or vertical-till system…?

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump is now urging MISSISSIPPI lawmakers to redistrict their Congressional map for the 2026 midterms, thanks to the Supreme Court striking down racial gerrymandering

DO IT! Mississippi can EASILY remove Bennie Thompson (D)'s District 2 and make it red 🔥

This map, by @erickson_68, shows just how EASY it is to have 4 safe Republican seats.

This process would require unprecedented moves, including canceling out and redoing primaries, per Mississippi Today

PLAY HARDBALL. IT'S WORTH IT. 🇺🇸

91% of the state is now in severe drought or worse - with 39% in extreme/exceptional. This is one of the driest starts to the year on record with some relief possible this weekend.

[Drew Gholson @DMGholson]

Drought conditions continue to worsen across Mississippi.
-Last year at this time: only 1.3% of the state was in any drought.
-This year: 92% of Mississippi is in at least Moderate Drought, with 48% now in Severe drought or worse. Hoping we catch some rain soon!!

Mesocotyls stretched and growing points are near soil surface. Prop roots are trying to anchor in dry soil and now we have some rootless corn syndrome

[Hank Jones @Hankcjag]

It’s the subtle things, maybe a mere centimeter of seedling depth, that will wear blade from knife and comfort from knees.

We should begin to see green leaves re-emerging from freeze burnt corn.

Warm, sunny weather will promote growth, so this should help.

However, it will be next week before we can fully assess survival.

As Pastor Franklin realized the farming community is legitimately concerned about their future, he began to look for ways the faith community as a whole can support them.

The MSU Television Center produced a short documentary with Franklin highlighting this struggle.

People like Bill Gates are destroying the planet and trying to blame it on cow burps and farts.

Large explosion at CF industries chemical plant in Yazoo, Mississippi, hazmat teams are on the way evacuation orders for people near this facility.

The plant is leaking ammonia, which is highly toxic and can cause damage they asking people to close windows and doors turn off any HVAC systems☠️☣️

🎥Picking cotton in Coahoma County today. Dr. Brian Pieralisi gives you an update on how harvest is going. #mscrops #MSUext

This is profound. You should never let a company have that much control over your operation. This is why Deere keeps prices High. Because they know they have some of you by the balls. This is your wake up call. He basically Just said I can’t farm without them. Scary.

[Erick Larson @MStateCorn]

#Corn hybrid selection is critical.

That is why we test the best in grower fields around the state. This helps assess genetic suitability and profitability for your farm.

These are the 2025 yield results.

Corn: How many bushels are needed to cover expenses in 2025 vs previous years? This is a very interesting look at what is happening using national averages. It's easy to see the profit years. Those appear to be long gone as costs have risen quickly. Will yield ever catch up or will costs come down or will price rise. Is either of these very likely?

I thought this was a pretty cool post from my son

pH or Calcium

“Plants create nutritional values by means of the calcium’s nutritional service, and not by its removal of soil acidity” p. 197

An excerpt from Albrecht on Calcium where he looked at calcium applications on soybeans planted in sand:

“By growing test plants in a colloidal clay-sand mixture, it was shown that calcium was required to a relatively high degree of saturation on the clay if the plants were to grow. As this degree of saturation was increased, or as the amount of clay with any degree of calcium saturation put into the sand was larger—to give the plants more calcium—there was more potassium, more nitrogen, and more phosphorus taken into the plants. Lime (calcium) was the leader, apparently, of the nutrients and was bringing them into the plants. Quite unexpectedly, it was discovered that when calcium supply… into the plants was very meager, then the nitrogen, the phosphorus, or the potassium might even be going in the reverse direction.” p.196

This corn came a long way this year. It was pummeled by hail, incessant rain, and even had some greensnap, but still produced good yields at the MSU Plant Science Research Center.

Thanks to Eddie Stevens & crew, 8 seed companies, and all involved.

I’d still be broke if he hadn’t been on the radio. I didn’t adhere strictly to his standards but getting out of machinery debt and changing my mentality toward debt was what put me on the right track. I didn’t realize it but I had indentured myself to the machinery companies.

Greensnap can be a serious issue, where vulnerability can vary greatly among #hybrids. Unfortunately, we saw dramatic effects in this irrigated #corn plot grown by David Taylor near Sledge.

Thanks to David, Drew, Jay, 8 seed companies and all involved.
