Going on 8 weeks control with 3 oz flumi+ 16 oz dicamba+ 1 lb atrazine. Kochia outside of spray zone on edge is 6”- 8” tall. Will plant corn this week. Plan early post at V2-V3 and be set for summer! Key to success in strip-till burndown was to water in residuals in with 1”

This is my 49th consecutive crop year to take stand counts as an ag professional. Started in Sublette, Kansas in 1976. Still hasn’t got old. P1278Q at 31,500 final (dropped 32K). 95%+ of those stand counts on Pioneer Seeds U.S. hybrids over those 49 years! 1M acres. Just the facts.

First spider mites of 2024! North side of pivot, well off edge. Pretty easy to find dime sized colonies on scattered plants. Corn V3.

Early Season Spider Mite Scouting in the Highplains youtu.be/ShspDbiIRRM?si… via YouTube Spider mites are beginning to move into V3-V4 corn in TX & OK panhandles from adjacent wheat fields that are ripening. I made this video 4 years ago and thought it would be a good review.

I’m really enjoying my 3.0 DuraMax 2nd gen diesel engine. Unbelievable MPG for a full size off road ZR2 Silverado. Can’t tell I’m driving a diesel. Really quite

Insane hiway MPG for ZR2 (lifted, 33”tires). Flat terrain, no wind. 3.0L LZO (2nd generation) DuraMax diesel! Extremely impressed with this engine! Looks like 4K-5K on a tank of DEF, not used one drop of oil.

Corn stunt vectored by leafhoppers has found its way into Texas panhandle. Early June planted corn showing 1%-5% infected plants. Ear picture SxS, one showing corn stunt symptoms, one not. Moderate to heavy leafhopper populations, see honey dew spots on leaves where they feed.

Heavy leaf hoppers in corn excrete honeydew and provides nutrient source for sooty mold. Average 2% infected plants with corn stunt causing reduced ear size. Deaf Smith county Texas. Never seen such heavy leafhopper numbers!
