@Dusty3080467325 Where are the Redline hybrid numbers so we can match them up?

Anyone interested in collecting seed tags to see how bad everyone is being fucked by BigAgSeed ?? There are 12 varieties being sold thru 34 small companies that are identical products that we know so far ….

Ames through and through 🥹 Thank you, Tamin Lipsey 👏 #MarchMadness

Great job Cyclones!! On to the Sweet 16!!

@gwiesefarms It’s a great way to meet and build relationships with a large number of people who will be your peers as you move into the industry. Would be difficult to do the same from the farm. Those connections can provide a lot of knowledge and opportunity.

Did anyone attend an ag university and feel they actually learned what they needed to to be successful on the farm? If so, which college and what course or degree?

@kstateman14 Lol

TJ Otzelberger reading a prepared statement about it five days later after literally just beating KU with tears forming in his eyes was the most embarrassing part of that debacle.

@FVCJeffW @FVCoop @FVCJeffW I’m fighting K and Mg levels in my corn tissues as well (high Ca). What did you guys learn from the added K and mgS?

Moved on now to soil and tissue samples on V7 corn. We applied different rates of dry KCl and MgS in blocks this spring to see if we can increase K and Mg levels in the plant. Always deficient in tissue though plenty in the soil. Will do again around V10 ⁦@FVCoop⁩

@AfterDarkCF @cyclonefanatic Perfect. Thank you!

@beedle_nick @cyclonefanatic It'll be posted to the CF After Dark pod feed afterwards. Here’s a link to our podcast feed and our various socials: (don't mind that Spotify still shows it as being WRNL, it just takes a few days to switch over) linktr.ee/cfafterdark

Don't forget to tune into CF After Dark immediately following Chris Williams' normal CF Postgame show tonight after Iowa State vs West Virginia. Levi Stevenson, Matthias Schwartzkopf and Tom Turner will break down the game, read comments from fans and more!

Blessed by the Lord! Staying home! Merry Christmas! @ISURogers3 @Coach_Roehl

Can’t wait until @ChrisMWilliams gets wind of this… @IowaEverywhere #rosebowl #sunset

Let’s do it 5!!🫶🏼🌪️

Ames has always been home🌪️ Let’s get to work!! @Coach_Roehl @ISURogers3

Thanks for the Assist, @georgesniang! #Cyclones | #C5C

3-1 vs the bad guys #cyclonestate

@richardeickhoff @FarmActionUS Yeah, the math just doesn’t add up on this one without a little context.

@FarmActionUS This guy found a market that pays $38/bushel for his beans? Please explain.

The agrochemical industrial complex says farmers need costly inputs to succeed. Kevin proves them wrong. By going regenerative, he takes home $1,200–$1,400 profit per acre. That’s what real success looks like. 📽️ Watch his story:

@agrimodis So if I’m understanding this correctly, the smallest two plants had “adequate” P tissue levels but because of their mass, we’re in adequate on a nutrient per acre basis?

Phosphorus uptake is MUCH less per day than nitrogen or potassium. Only the two most-stressed plants are P-deficient, although, like potassium, the smallest plant had the highest P leaf tissue %.

@steeke7 Michael, this is great stuff. I may have missed it. What’s your target tissue K level you are trying to maintain, and what have you based that off of?

After three years of pulling regular in-season soil and tissue samples, the data has made one thing clear: one of my biggest recurring challenges isn’t just water — it’s keeping potassium where I want it in the plant from mid-season to grain fill. (Pretty common, but cool to track a very detailed and consistent trend with data) KCL has been my primary tool, but the numbers show its limits. In my low K:Mg soils, tie-up happens far quicker than I would have ever expected. This told me to move the KCl application in-season, which does seem beneficial — as long as we have moisture after application and we can get enough uptake before lock up. Some years it’s worked great, others have been a bit of a miss. I wanted a multi-tiered plan so I wasn’t 100% reliant on in-season KCl and foliar K. We do run a few gallons of 0-0-13 with humic on the planter, but my goal was to logistically apply pounds of K preplant — when it’s easier — while choosing a source that wouldn’t release so quickly that it competes with early Ca and Mg uptake, yet still holds on long enough to support the crop’s real demand curve. This year, I’m testing SOP (sulfate of potash) to see if its slower-release profile can better align with that early demand window. The trial results so far are promising, but the R4 tissue sample and yield map will tell me whether SOP earns a permanent place in the program.

@Bkitch1Bodie I have in the past just as an observation, was not super scientific. I don’t have the resources or know-how you guys have in terms of comparison and interpretation. Would be interested to see your view on it.

@beedle_nick Nope but I think I will now. But need to take biomass into account or may get a false read

Tillers or no tillers? Why? Population is 33k in a faith based irrigation system for reference
