Wet Weather Prompts Crop Plan Revisions for Farm
After weeks of unusual weather farmers weigh changes to their cropping programs. Some seeding remains but oats as a nurse crop are already too late. Soybeans face shading and weed-control issues, while manganese deficiency on high pH soils is being studied. Trials include oats and soybeans with tissue and soil analysis and yield data. Rex Stone asks about atrazine and liquid nitrogen use, noting weed control depends on atrazine rate, not fertilizer medium, with potential field trips saved.
