Dry Areas

weather

Last week was pretty good for most of Illinois from a rainfall standpoint, but there were gaps in the West South Central area especially. Some areas got very little rainfall. Crops are starting to show a good bit of stress. The photo below was on some sandy soils in St. Charles County, Mo. The areas of burned up corn will continue to get larger every day now.

Mengembangkan Budidaya Jamur Barat

Jamur barat sendiri pada dasarnya
sangat berbeda dengan seperti yang kita lihat dengan jamur –jamur yang sudah
bisa di budi dayakan sekarang ini
seperti jamur tiram putih contohnya, namun jamur barat bukanlah jamur tiram,
jamur barat hanya bisa hidup selama setengah hari saja setelah itu jamur akan
mulai melebar dan menghitam, rasanya tidak berbeda dengan jamur tiram sendiri.

Dicamba Damage Heats Up

crop protection Soybeans

Dicamba damage is the buzz in agriculture right now. New formulations were haled as the answer to drift issues with dicamba. Industry officials are blaming everything except that dicamba is a bad idea. Prairie Farmer has published a Monsanto Response that seems to be weak in some ways. Drift is only one problem. The field below had damage across the whole field. That is likely caused by inversion. We have heard that even a heavy dew on recently sprayed fields can cause a problem.

Some commercial applicators have quit using dicamba because of the issues. If you continue to use it, be sure to follow label and understand that conditions can change quickly. You may start a field on label and finish off label. Dicamba residues in the tank have been blamed in some cases. I am not sure how often that happens. This article on what is happening in Illinois seems to cover many of the issues very well. Monsanto claims that used as directed there should be no problems. I am not sure I would use it at all.

Cupping indicates dicamba damage.

Is it Time to Return to Last Midcentury's System of Crop Rotation in the Midwest?

Much as "economic progress" has tried, there doesn't seem to be a smarter system than the one used by my Dad on the farm I was raised on in Nebraska. Today, that system is still around but it is less common. Now, the Union of Concerned Scientist's has produced a document (shown above) which includes research by Iowa State University, advocating crop rotational systems.

Southeast Iowa Crops

Corn Condition Crop Condition Soybean Condition

We drove across Southeast Iowa this morning. Irrigation rigs are running in the river bottoms. Corn is dark green, but most is not yet tasseling. Some fields had leaf rolling, but none of the corn looked to be beyond the help of a timely rain. Soybeans are looking good too. Judging from brown lawns, I would say rain would very welcome.
