2025 field work

[cycloner29]

Another .5” of rain in my gauge in North Ames.

I'm pretty glad we pushed as hard as we did to get all of our corn and some soybeans in. I suspect both will be out of the ground early next week.

Only downside is we didn't get preemergent down for my field of soybeans. Going to have to pivot from my original plan there.

Agreed, but corn laying in the ground for 15 days doing nothing isn't really an advantage either.

Meh, I saw 2019 and 2024 (both late) and I've seen plenty of stand establishment issues. Give me a slightly reduced stand. Also, if you don't get oversaturated, you aren't going to have a lot of trouble with stand establishment. If soil conditions are right and there's nothing crazy in the forecast, go plant. When I was younger I would have said something different and I was always on the wrong side of that decision when it rained a couple times in the next two weeks and pretty soon it was May 10th with nothing done. Also, Imbibitional Chilling is a huge anomaly that needs such a rare string of events to happen I don't think we should even talk about it anymore like we did before that 2020 Purdue article that every seed company agronomist glommed onto.

We have 100 acres of corn left that's gotten a lot more rain than the rest of our stuff. Going on beans now and I'd bet we will finish beans before we get to that corn, which is just fine.

We have about 500 of corn left and only 300 of beans. Really wishing I would have pushed harder then what I did. We will finish beans before the corn ground will be fit now

Got an email (group one) from the co-op not to be named. Good Lord, whoever is doing the communications is extremely tone deaf. Start well and then show bitterness at the end.

Another 1.1 rain Thursday/Friday. It could take a break now for about 3 weeks.

Deleted it. I will say, change should come east because it appears everyone is quitting. Tell you how great it is. A person they hired quit after 2 days because they were told they could get unemployment. So 60% is better than working there? Kinda scary.

I better not go any further so this doesn’t get locked.
