This is what happens when soils dry in cool weather and cloudy skies. The top looks fine, but underneath is sticky. Dust is flying, but when you brush back the dry soil, the furrow doesn’t close and you get sidewall compaction.

TYPICALLY you can determine planting depth by measuring the mesocotyl and adding 3/4”Here we can see sidewall compaction allowing light penetration into the soil too soon, signaling to the plant it was close to surface and stopping mesocotyl elongation and coleoptile rupture

Both plants look good right?
Wrong.
2nd plant will eventually die
2nd plant has pythium/fusarium. Notice how it has not ‘stretched’ out. When you dig him up you’ll notice diseased crown and lack of nodal root development

UPDATE: Remember when I had a kid defoliate different parts of the canopy? Middle was no defoliation. Left was below the ear. Right was above the ear. Stalk quality followed suit when I did push tests. Protect that upper canopy!
My defoliator came in today!!! Putting to good use at field of dreams plot!

Ah yes. Climate change. That’s gotta be it… make it be something that is out of a parents hands
Today’s children are 30% less aerobically fit than their parents were at their age, a new study found.
The study points to climate change and rising temperatures adversely affecting childhood obesity, as children spend less time exercising outdoors.

Remember all the streaking from banded N applications? It’s baaaaack.
Corn will tassel how it emerged and grew. Those plants on top of the band grew quicker sooner, and have now reached tassel sooner than the plants between the bands.

OR….. and I know this is going to sound crazy….. WE COULD JUST USE BUTTER
Scientists are experimenting with larva fat to replace butter. They soak insects in water and then mush them with a blender before centrifuges separate a butter-like substance, which the team then uses to bake with

If you have corn in the ground, remember the week-10 days after planting has a high correlation with fusarium crown rot. Also a great environment for seedling disease

Since we started planting April 13th, this is the 2nd wettest planting season on record. Last year, we had the third driest growing season on record. I guess we’ve had ‘average’ weather then right?
