Seeming some arrested ears in certain fields. These fields had no herbicide or fungicide applied between V5 & R1. Likely cause is a wind event just prior to tassel. Learned about this phenomenon from a post from John Mick last year.

Now is a good time to run a center pivot application uniformity test - it measures application UNIFORMITY and application AMOUNT. Contact your Pioneer Sales Rep in south central Nebraska about having one done for you. Calvin Rupe Bill McClure Gabe Bathen Casey Rankin

$47.61 for paper towels and TP at Target today. Absolutely insane example of corporate greed and price gouging. In fact, it made me so angry, I decided to do some analysis. Many prices have increased by 50% or more since COVID, so I decided to put on my investment banking hat

Pioneer sales reps and employees spent last week taking yield estimates across the state. More than 5100 samples taken!! It is a challenging year with finding "representative fields" and representative locations in an individual fields. Attached are the results.

Why did Dostoevsky fear free will? He said it’s the cause of all evil and suffering But he also thought there was only one thing worse than free will... A world with no freedom at all. Here’s why he says you need free will — even at the cost of evil, suffering and death…

Corn harvested at 29% moisture: 303 bpa 2.5 weeks later same field harvested at 17%: 284 bpa (Yields are at 15% moisture) The phantom is out this fall.

You can’t bio-product your way to soil health—products don’t improve soil’s physical conditions, but proven practices do. Before spending your money on an unproven product, try a time-tested practice to build soil. My latest: csanr.wsu.edu/?p=22836

On this great Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, take 18 minutes to watch this stunning video and have your mind completely blown. All credit to GabiAfterHours for this brilliant short documentary. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for your children. Now, and at the hour of our death!

April 15, 1923 Dakota Farmer. Tractor plus binder for less than $1000. Sounds like a smart investment, but a new machine called the “combine” was just around the corner. The com-bine combined the reaper and the thresher into one unit.

🇲🇽Mexico has formally dropped restrictions on GMO #corn imports. Previous plans to ban such grain could have significantly reduced U.S. corn exports if enacted.

For anyone looking to save on fertilizer expense this year here is an old formula. From The Ohio Practical Farmer, 1884. Better note this, if you need it to be ready in the next couple weeks you had better break up the bones with an axe before starting!
