2025 field work
- Thread starter BCClone
- Start date
20Z14E and 27Z41E are rated a 7 on IDC. The 20 look really good in some hot spots around here. Also VRS has helped improve some beans on IDC.
Mine were bids and are dependent on federal cutoff numbers. Bid applications closed on June 6th. Now I’m not so worried.
I don’t want to have to find a tenant and it’s too far from my home farm for my custom guys
I don't have as long of track record as some, it's my 4th year farming in earnest but I'd call it the most consistent one at the very least. Combination of high soil ph and some poorly drained soil means it'll rear its head in parts of fields every year.
Got verbal confirmation today. Big relief. 15 year contract so that it becomes my estate’s problem
Air planes & helicopters were more prevalent today spraying corn. Quite a bit of disease in the area.
What area are you? I been around most of NC Iowa and there is nothing out there as of last week. Same story for everyone I’ve talked to in the area also.
Pottawattamie County(SW IA). Was up in Minneapolis last weekend & id say we’re 7-10 days ahead of NC IA. Pretty much done pollinating here.
Very little spraying going on here as of yet. Many are still doing the math of current commodity prices and federal crop insurance verses adding more input cost
I would say tassels will pop in most of the corn up here at end of the week.
Fair amount here when things have been dry but based on my scouting and talking to the local agronomists it's the guys who are going to spray no matter what things look like.
Going to spray both corn and beans. We have a couple products we liked last year, so we are trying more this year. Lots of tassels. Over half are out.
Will have corn sprayed by helicopter or drone in the next day or two
Anyone have a favorite fungicide/ what are you all seeing in terms of price for product and application?
Ortho Max, $21.99/qt. Amazon
Farmin' days are in the past, probably should have posted in the garden thread
