I’m old fashioned I guess. Going to vote in person tomorrow like I feel it should be. Amazed at the amount of people that want to meet, companies doing webinars, etc. Do they not know what day it is? Meetings and webinars can wait.

903 Big, three N rates side by side. 67 lb made 144 bu. 96 lb added 12. Doubling to 148 lb added just 1 more. The 96 lb rate returned the most. That is why you measure instead of assume. #SentinelAg #Harvest26 #PrecisionAg

Is organic matter the only key to water-holding capacity? 💧 Dr. Ray Ward explains why capturing more rainfall and reducing runoff may matter even more, & how soil aggregates make it possible. 📹: bit.ly/4zVfwll #ThursdayThoughts #SoilHealth #WaterInfiltration

Hail damaged your corn - but the nutrients may still be there.🌽 In this week's #ThursdayThoughts, Ray explains how low C:N ratio corn plants decompose, releasing #Nitrogen a cover crop can pick up quickly & can create dangerous levels for grazing. 📹: bit.ly/4rTrPM1

This field is irrigated so good to have those tests. Only anomaly is it should be corn but got hailed out this summer so plenty of nutrients 👍 Typically irrigated wheat here follows soybean harvest.

Rate testing glyphosate. Forage 18” and vol wheat 6”. Starting at 1 fl oz glyphosate and working up. Interested see what rate shows up. Going to also send in tissue samples to see ppm also. Advantage? It has rained some and actively growing without stress. @FVCoop
