Planted last Wednesday afternoon notill into wheat stubble. We wanted to check to see if we could get the planter into the ground since only 0.75” since last September. It went in almost 2” and a little moisture. Resilience. ⁦@FVCoop⁩ ⁦@FVC_LukeK⁩

We will be doing strips of Ultrafluent treated wheat to demonstrate it in fields this fall also.
Here’s an update on the ultra fluent wheat. The treated in right side is taller with a more consistent root system. You can see the height difference in the rights

Yes! They also move there after corn pollination to keep living and laying eggs. Have seen them almost covering palmer plants! @FVC_LukeK
Palmer is a perfect host crop for CRW beetles, see first picture. It’s a hard insect to manage, but it takes a combination of control practices, crop rotation, weed control, use the correct traits and insect management.

APA @FVC_LukeK talks about how @TaranisAg can help improve efficiency on the farm.
Time is everything during spray season. When you're covering fields spanning hundreds of miles, you can’t afford to miss a window. Use Taranis to prioritize where to go first—so you’re not wasting hours scouting what’s already under control. and you can focus where attention is needed most. #Agronomy #AgRetail #Farming #Agriculture #Agribusiness #Agronomy #CropScouting #AgTech #PrecisionAgriculture #Fungicide

No fall flumi. No apps this spring either.

Fall application of Flumi on palmer amaranth.
Discussion has been will flumi work on palmer amaranth? Alternating strips of 4 oz applied last fall, nothing this spring. Flumi on left. Not perfect but much better than right side. I think the key for palmer is fall application. ⁦@FVCoop⁩

The difference between healthy stalks (right) and stalks that have been hailed out (left). Hailed stalks can turn into stalk rot. @FVCJeffW @FVCoop
