@Rolling_Acres Should have planted snorkel wheat?

@FieldwalkerAg What about drowned out

Do you have winterkill in your winter wheat?

Entry level weather station

@14Ram Welcome to the club 😎

@FieldwalkerAg Right here, but I think you already knew that…

Some Mn deficiency in wheat. Will be corrected soon. Not sulphur because it had 20 lbs a couple weeks ago.

We have a specialist postion in ag engineeing with a focus on equipment, irrigation, and precison agriculture. UD has field equipment, a variable rate irrigation research farm, and specialists to work with on site. Please share! careers.udel.edu/en-us/job/5030…

Another power of phosphorus picture. This grower put 100 lbs of 9-32-12-8s-0.8zn infurrow with his twin bin airseeder. They ran out on the last round. Soil test levels are low at 7-16ppm.

@gwiesefarms @kowalchukfarms1 Do you have a lot of operations that do zero based budgeting? Going through every line item on an expense statement (or doing zero based budgeting) vs focusing on generating revenue or better ways to get the job done seems very tedious.

@FieldwalkerAg @kowalchukfarms1 Switching is a cost. If you are price checking and know they are looking out for you while also providing the value you need, switching isn’t always necessary.

Normal operations do what they did last year. Buy from the same suppliers and plant the same acres. They get normal results. Highly profitable operations act different. They question everything on their cash flow statement, scrutinize all new purchases, & constantly find ways to generate unique income. Those operations get outsized financial results.

@LowBoomLowDrift Any phenoxy herbicide has both knockdown and limited residual activity. But when battling waterhemp will be using multiple actives.

@FieldwalkerAg What chem ?

Be careful with droplet sizes on this weed. You need small droplets to get a kill on Baby water hemp. Big droplets will roll off. Also, for the spot spray guys. Will a camera pick up a weed this small? At high speed? I see 16 mph being advertised now. I am skeptical that weeds this small can be detected at 16 mph. Some one please prove me wrong. I want it to work.

@kowalchukfarms1 @gwiesefarms Switching is a cost, somethings are not worth changing when you know it works and been down multiple roads.

@gwiesefarms Loyalty can generate benefits also. It’s not always the cheapest retailer that brings the best value. Relationships in our industry do matter

@voss_ag Usually do the basic lab test (pH, OM, P, K, Mg, CEC) plus micros as determined by crop. N is usually sampled in crop if doing a side dress test but not really calibrated to current crop patterns.

@FieldwalkerAg Easy life growing corn-corn-corn, or corn-soybeans-corn 😉 If you do pick up a new customer, what are testing for?

Agronomist who only get NPKS values on their soil tests.

If you’re proposing this spring…

@voss_ag Haha, typically don’t do that either.

@FieldwalkerAg I mean, technically it’s NO3 and SO4…

@FarmKid92 @IH_farmer @Lyonseed @farmerschneck Agree that tillage helps, maybe just too much trash with notill to get viable plants.

@IH_farmer @Lyonseed @farmerschneck @FieldwalkerAg I'd agree with you on the tillage. Higher success rate after edible beans that had spring tillage or pulled vs no-till soybeans. Kind of wonder as well if something like a tine weeder might be enough to help 🤷‍♂️

With high nitrogen prices are you putting more red clover in winter wheat?

@rydixon_ Good idea but the first guy with the combine wins?

Customer installed fence line camera 📸 Do you think this is a good idea? Should it be standard on modern planters?

Plant nutrition applications under the @Metos_Canada work planning tool isn't looking great for the next field days. Either too wet or too windy.

Missing soybean cotyledons, commonly seen in no-till after corn. The seedling will survive but be much delayed. Not just caused by snails! Research by PhD Iraj Yagoubian shows they snag on corn residue mixed into seed furrow while emerging. More proof row cleaners are important!
