Thread:
With fertilizer prices hikes folks are looking for options. I believe that all products and methods have a place, somewhere. But there is nothing suited for every field and year, including traditional commercial fertilizer. and other established practices.

Interested in having your voice heard in research? Consider responding to this survey of commercially available biological products for use in corn production systems.
Yes. But we aren’t interested in all those “features”. 5 pocket jeans the way they used to be made and I’m happy.

Headed for the Finish Line for Corn in 2025. Still could use a solid rain to realize the potential of what is left of this crop.

People being 2 or 3 generations away from famine have the nourishment that allows them to get wild ideas and blame the very science, ingenuity and innovation that prevents famines today.

Time for a few ear samples in our @CornTennessee funded trials this year. Ran into a little southern rust along the way. Thankfully we are well into R5 at this point. Some good looking corn despite the lack of recent rainfall. @UTcrops
To Desiccate or Not to Desiccate? That is the question...

Always amazed at the productivity of older germplasm under modern management practices. Seed tech is necessary in some environments, but not all.

200 years ago,
everything was “organic”.
No GMOs.
No “chemicals.”
All natural.
All local.
And people died at 35.
So no. Organic didn’t mean healthy. It meant starving, sick, or dead.
Let’s not romanticize the past.
The hypocrisy is deafening, for sure. But so is the “sex sells” marketing theme here. We should be decrying the latter, not the former.
