@AMillershaski I hate subscriptions with a passion. I have $25k in sensors now junk because they relied on a subscription from a now defunct outfit. I had thousands of work hours and years of prec ag data, same story. My pre subscription QuickBooks still works, ask new QB users how that's going

@JustinRoseDeere @badgerlandgrain I appreciate your point about being able to try it for a lower entry cost w/subscription. However, the subscription model prevents the customer from earning a return on a capital investment, instead they have a perpetual cash expense.

@jpshroyer @brettswff @KevinVanTrump Thanks for posting, I have never seen it happen. I would be curious what varieties this can appear in, would it correlate to varieties we typically think of as photoperiod sensitive for heading?

@FLOLOfarms @brettswff @KevinVanTrump That's interesting. I wonder what it's winter survivability would be like on the plains.

@farmerjim13 They would have something if the video showed them going through fresh corn or sorghum stalks. Row cleaners in that situation looks like someone has a confidence problem.

@ScottVanAllen For me, a dab of grease to hold it in place makes all the difference.

@ksufarmboy A lot of tough things in the business, but there are a lot of folks who take for granted the blessing they have of having their kids at work with them, it's pretty unique. I wrestle with that a lot.

@ksufarmboy Had very similar thoughts the other day. Dad and grandpa had livestock growing up, gone now. My livestock enterprise is 2 4H calves. I'm not in a position to get into livestock, but my kids are certainly missing out on some unique experiences.

@6bushel @farmerdan97 This brings up an important challenge with profile samples, often takes extra effort to get a good mix due to different soil layers and/or moisture conditions across a 24" sample. Ease of mixing often correlates with depth which could obviously bias the sample.

@farmerdan97 Credit to the crew of @NithyaRajan for the Perryton data. Work is the result of a KSU-OSU-TAMU collaboration.

@ksplainsfarmer @farmerdan97 @wils0n11 In some cases yes. But NO3, and NH4 if they ran it, are generally pretty straightforward. I think it's more likely we have a difference in sampling or maybe interpretation.

@farmerdan97 One more thought, 12" isn't very deep for residual profile N, not hard to believe that some moisture could push it down a couple inches and now it's being missed in the sample.

@ksufarmboy @lathemfarms @farmerdan97 Most labs keep them for some period of time in case a rerun is needed. On research trials we actually get the samples back and archive them for some length of time.
