Week in Review- June 30, 2012

We may look back on a nice week where crops accelerated at an amazing pace.

Alfalfa first cut should be off by about now. Later cut parcels will have higher AFD levels, test your feed. Check for Alfalfa weevil and spray as needed.

Most cereal crops are in the flag leaf stage. We need to decide if we are spraying or not! Irrigated crops are very lush and most subject to leaf disease.

Canola crops are flowering right now. Bug pressure is substantial, scout often. Sclerotinia pressure has been very high in the last few years. Not spraying is NOT an option.

All crops need IRRIGATION right now, monitor your water. NO we did NOT get too much rain. Drill a few holes and turn that pivot ON.

We have been blessed this week,

May your bushels be BIG…..
