Sorry for being late, but have been busy. corn crop looks good and hopefully next week will have some tassels. We have been getting timely rains but not in excess right now. Got some liquid nitrogen down 3 weeks ago as a sidedress and it has really taken off. This is a first for us as we have used dry urea to top dress but corn got to far along and we wanted to try this anyways. Saved our men some time and effort and I think we will reap what extra this cost. Traveled to Ohio last week for a meeting with Lee (youngest son) last week and we decided that we would not trade our corn crop right now for any other that we saw. Ours is very consistent and even with very little holes for stand losses.
soybeans are looking good and just need to harvest wheat to get the last ones in the ground. Ours are a little later as we are trying to improve seed quality of our beans as they are all potential seed beans. had something unusual happen in our no-till soybean field this year. It looks like alien circle in the field, but field mice have taken refuge in the corn residue last year and have eaten the soybean plants we have in this one field. I don't know that there is any thing we can do to remedy this for this year.
Pleasse post a comment up as that would spur me on to write more.
Thanks and have a great week.
