For those of you complaining about the ‘lack’ of blizzard be grateful you didn’t get it. Stuck in my driveway. Had to dig to get into the house when came back yesterday. Highways closed west. Idiots coming down from I-80 and now stranded. Snowplow stuck by my house on road.

This drought has been horrible on crops, especially dryland. Another huge detriment is the amount of palmer seed now, irrigated or dryland 😢 What to do? Start with a fall herbicide! The one picture shows no fall herbicide on the left and multiple years of fall herbicide

This. I have worked with precision ag since 1995. To me no fields should not be grid soil sampled and VR applied. Add management zones to really enhance. With current fert prices I believe it is essential to control costs

Corn is harvested, 90% of the stalks have fallen over, this is the reason. What and how you do with the seed at planting sets the stage for rest of season. Sidewall compaction that never disappeared all year. ⁦ @FVCoop ⁩ ⁦ @1sauderben ⁩

Does precision ag pay? Every field is different but take this simple approach to start. If you soil sample and follow the recs wouldn’t it make sense to sample on small subsets and follow those recs so you don’t over or under apply fertilizer?? @FVCoop
