Could you please post how it did sometime after harvest? Did you run alternating strip or split the field?
People are moving to the Midwest

Well sometimes you got to try things to see what works. As long as you don't get burned to often, it doesn't hurt to experiment. Lots of things get better after a decade or so of improvement.
I don't know why since this thread is nothing more than a.............
Those who move north to avoid increasingly deadly heat and humidity.

Emergency room visits surge, Texans die amid dangerous heat wave
After weeks of extreme heat, health officials have reported numerous deaths, while emergency departments across the state are seeing record numbers of people seeking treatment for heat exhaustion and heat stroke.www.texastribune.org

Florida could see record heat this weekend before tropical activity brings needed rain
There is a potential Florida could see several inches of rain next week as tropical moisture is pulled north into the state.news.yahoo.com
......climate change circle jerk anyway. And this is just the first 2 pages.
No one is discussing the politics of it though.
Sir, or madame, what are you talking about?
My city is seeing people move in from the South and my elected city officials are forced to take action. THEY HAVE ASCERTAINED that one of the causes is related to changing conditions in areas of the county where SOMETHING is going on making people leave their home state. In part to accommodate them they are forced to tear up my beautiful woodlot where my kids played, I birdwatched, and looked for mushrooms. Maybe this doesn't have anything to do with you or your lifestyle or beliefs but it is affecting mine!

Grab those oyster mushrooms while you still can--they're prolific around here right now
432 crop acre field. Started with hopper filled for 250 acres treated, rest of field untreated and will not topdress untreated. Have test strip side by side in another field. It was planted early April and had water pooled on it so it may not be a good test. From 4/15 thru 5/30 we had rain two or three times a week. As I tell my son: Welcome to Farming.
Had people up from Texas for a graduation a couple weeks back and they could t believe how green Wisconsin was. I was asked multiple times what kind of irrigation system I used in my backyard. I’m like, “the water just comes out of the sky here,” which seemed to blow their minds.
People in Colorado: There's been more fires lately including east of the front range (this happened near Boulder a couple of summers ago) and with it being so dry (and expensive), we may move to cheaper places where it's less likely to happen.
CYEATHAWK: what a circle jerk!! Why are people obsessing over it!?
Proceeds to comb through the thread to point out mere mentions of influencing patterns.
**Mods, feel free to delete this but it's interesting seeing people interject their own leanings into the thread by acting like they aren't lighting the fuse.
Sometimes we get so comfortable in our own environment we don't realize how blessed we are. I was once offered a job as a district sales rep for a major seed company that encompassed the greater part of western Kansas, most of which was under center pivot irrigation. When I learned that I wouldn't have the need for a lawn mower it didn't take me long to decide I wouldn't be a good fit for the position (or more so that the position wouldn't be a good fit for me)
I don't think it's one side that does it.
There's a few from both sides of these things that need to throw their code words around.
"Immunity" maybe in the fact that the climate issues won't be as severe, but the infrastructure may struggle to keep up with increased population.
Not to throw any more OT into the thread, but don't forget it's $/A you are after, not Bu/A. I really wish there more threads dedicated to stuff like this, but people seem to get their feels wadded up so easily.
That would take awhile, a lot of the infrastructure was created with much larger populations in mind. Valid point though
Very few of these types of products will show an advantage in what is already a high N (prairie soils) environment.
University Research Casts Skepticism on Nitrogen-Fixing Biologicals
In a recently published summary of 61 nitrogen rate trials with and without biological nitrogen-fixing products, less than 4% resulted in yield increases with the use of the products compared to nitrogen alone. The trials were conducted by researchers at 10 land-grant universities.
If you were lucky or unlucky to be part of agriculture during the Farm Crisis of the ‘80’s like I was, if you didn’t understand the object was $/A…..you made an early exit. And as time went on, even if you did, you still struggled. It accelerated the demise of businesses in rural towns because farmers went several years without buying anything but food. So yeah I know it’s $/A and I agree that the Ag industry including Universities promote yield but that’s how they make more money. PivotBio was presented to me as reducing the need to add purchasing extra N by side dressing. The cost is slightly less but eliminates a trip, running over corn and adding commercial N that might end up as run off. I’m skeptical but in 1974 I had the first Vermeer Big Baler in the region and everybody told me it was a crazy idea that would never work.
In my area, side dressing went out the door when nitrogen prices escalated and the extra trip money was used to supplement more nitrogen on original application and therefore created the advent of N-Serve and other nitrogen stabilizer products. The only side dressing that occurs around here is to fix unanticipated problems--not as a part of an original plan. I can't remember the ag industries or universities pushing the use of extra N without including the cost of an extra trip, thus using ROI as a selling point, not just a yield advantage. outside of that, any yield advantage talk in the industry is based on genetic advantage of one hybrid over another.
