Finding some 300+ bushel corn in Winona county today.

A consultant in SC MN sent photos of severe fall armywom infestation in an oat cover crop. The larvae were nearly full grown. It might be worth checking any emerged fall cereals, lush grass hay ground an possibly very late-planted sweet corn.

Another weed species up to no good.

When will giant ragweed stop emerging in 2025?

Check out new publication from our group by @NavjotS39 in @WorldofWeeds' Weed Technology titled "Effect of herbicide application timing and sequence on waterhemp and common lambsquarters control, Enlist E3® soybean yield, and economic returns" Read: bit.ly/44by0kq Key takeaways: ✅HG 15 acetochlor-alone PRE provided >85% waterhemp control at both sites in MN. ✅A PRE application is essential to protect soybean yield. ✅Early-POST Liberty (V1 stage) followed by Enlist + Roundup (V3) outperformed Liberty applied late (R1) as a "rescue treatment" after Enlist + Roundup. ✅In fields with high waterhemp pressure, a full program—PRE + two POSTs (V1 & V3)—resulted in consistently higher yields. ✅Adding HG 15 to the mid-POST (V3) tank didn't improve waterhemp control or yield when PRE and early-POST were already applied. 📌Note: this study was conducted in 2021 and 2022 (dry years). However, with enough moisture, waterhemp can keep emerging until canopy closure. #WeedScience #SoybeanResearch #Waterhemp #HerbicideResistance #MNAg Thanks to @MNSoybean for funding this project! @UMNExt @sethnaeve @BeetWeedControl @RPMcrops @SoybeanUMN

@brim006 Stop the sale! @Backcountry_H_A

My brother has been digging into this more now. It appears the full plan is coming clearer and shows that its actually planned for a total of 120 million acres… The first phase already exposes the real intent, as most is in and around highly desirable areas of the Tetons, Bighorns and Yellowstone which would be perfect for high roller developers mostly, not solely affording housing areas. Also, the vast majority is far far away from any town and is in the heart of steep and knarly mountains areas, which is the complete opposite of where housing would be needed or even possible. It’s a giant ploy. It won’t be for affordable housing and won’t even dent the deficit. Groups beyond just sportsmen and hikers need to band together to fight this. Make anyone and everyone you know aware of it before they sneak it in and push it through and sell off public lands that’ll never be available to the public again.

@OatNewsletter oat and barley field tour tomorrow with a focus on plant disease management. extension.umn.edu/event/small-gr…

Warm open winter = extended giant ragweed emergence well into June @UMNweeds @UMNExt

Rochester small grain plot tour Tuesday June 10. Plots are really looking nice. extension.umn.edu/event/small-gr…

@UMNExt @UmnPSEE this was a great opportunity to work with our friends from Wisconsin. Nice to learn from their work and experiences
