Will Smith said, “her happiness is not my responsibility. She should be happy and I should be happy individually. Then we come together and share our happiness. Giving someone a responsibility to make you happy when you can’t do it for yourself is selfish”

Just because your corn is small doesn’t mean waterhemp still is. DO NOT DELAY herbicide apps to let corn get bigger because of a planned V5-V6 fungicide or micronutrient application. This weed is already off label for almost all herbicides!

I found this #culture iceberg really interesting. Learning about "deep culture" is crucial when working with people from different cultures. We talk a lot about "surface culture" and not much about the "deep culture".

If disappointed in hybrid performance, call in your agronomist before calling and pointing fingers at a seed company, fert applicator, etc... do a little DIGGING. In my last 10 years, 90% of complaints come back to roots and planting conditions! Sidewall compaction kills yields!

Start small and start simple! Build onto your cover crops with experience. Everyone farms a little different- adjust to suit your goals, soils & management over time
"This publication is intended to provide a starting point for farmers who are new to growing cover crops. With experience, farmers may fine-tune the use of cover crops for their systems." Mixes can be great! But for a 1st-timer, start small for better success

Pollution levels are dropping at record breaking rates. Less cars on the roads, less cruise ships in our seas, less planes in the sky... Same amount of cows 🤔
