#SoilMoisture content for the top 1-2" in MN. 5-7" of rain in one storm in certain areas w/unending storm threats. LOTS of drownout spots w/nowhere for the water to go. 25% moisture is ideal-anything higher is losing O2. Hang in there farmers! U of MN Extension #MNfarmers #Flooding

Visited raised #SolarPanels in a soybean field near Olivia today. Interesting concept. They move to face the sun every 15 min, will lay flat if it's too windy, and are tall enough to farm under. #MNag #solarpower

I went to an #opera with my mom and sister! Do you see any resemblance? #MarraigeofFigero at the #SantaFeOpera house. Beautiful location, great atmosphere, and they had closed captioning (thank goodness). But... opera is not really my jam. 😆

Help! Field w/partial lodging issues over many years. #Corn that lodged didn't have brace roots. Why would some corn not grow brace roots? No pests or stalk issues. #Diskripped, cont corn, less issues in wheel tracks. Well fertilized. Tried multiple hybrids. #mncorn

Oh boy. When #SweetCorn needs to be picked it doesn't matter the soil conditions. No one wants overripe sweet corn. To repair damage/ruts use a lite tillage pass and plant #covercrops. Plenty of time for good growth and for benefits. #soilhealth

I got a few new props! Anyone know an engineer that knows how #tillage implements move soil based on shape, depth, speed, ...?

While navigating hubby in WC MN and watching my maps app, I saw this field. Is he putting on #manure or doing a wacky job of tilling?
