Soybeans are starting to show moisture stress in the afternoons. With 90+ temps all week--yields will suffer. Found my first soybean aphids.
Corn is loosing yield by the day. Ears are tipping back from lack of rain and nitrogen deficiency. Moisture stress is very obvious now.
I visited a feild of soybeans yesterday that had a sever outbrake of Phyllosticta leaf spot. I am guessing 75% infection. #plant10#farm#ag
Hi all. I will be leaving Extension as of Aug.1 to become the new agronomy professor at Illinois Central College. I will still tweet there.
Rain varied from a few 10ths in the northern part of the county to 2 inches on the southern side. #plant10#ag#farm
@skporter will do I am guessing that does not count in the total letters??
The Woodford county 4-H fair is next week from July 19-22. If you want some of the best fair food anywhere--come to the "Shadetree Royal".
Soybeans range in hieght from 10" to waist high depending on planting date. Almost all are flowering, with the earliest setting pods.
The hotter weather has arrived. Corn looks pretty good, but since most of the corn is/has pollinated, nitrogen deficency is showing up
Sorry I have not had any tweets lately. I was on vacation last week, and playing catch up this week.
Soybeans are not as good. Fields vary from R1 to only 6 inches tall depending on planting date. A few fields will get planted this week.
Finally some dry weather! Early planted corn is pollinating and most feilds are not far behind. Much of the crop looks good.
Insects and diseases are popping up in fields. Japanese beetles are everywhere. This would be a great time to scout fields for pest.
Soybeans are mostly in the V2-4 stage, with some narrow row beans already fully canopied. Post apps. on the tallest fields are underway.
Corn is now well into the rapid growth phase. Most is chest high (V9-10), and the tallest corn is over my head (V13-15).
The tallest corn in the county is shoulder high. The biggest beans are V4, and the wheat is turning yellow.
