Matts 22-28000 plants per acre 1-2 leaf. Light frost in lower area but only
minor damage. Barnyard, Giant and velvet leaf 1-2". 1-2% cutworm damage. The
wind blew the trash on the east slope but damage is minimal. Soybeans not
sprayed wait a week. 1 " root on these beans the stalks are piled all over.
Saylor
Wheat: okay in the boot with only a trace of powdery mildew.
Beans: Just cracking the soil surface
Corn: 7-28000 plants per acre. In general appears to be thinner than Matt's.
Thin spots are filling in from the recent moisture. Frost damage 0-100% of the
plants. The no till froze worse than the tilled soil. They should recover with
warm weather but won't know much for 5-7 days. Worst freeze damage along the
waterways.
McKim
Corn: 24-27000 plants per acre. Looks very good. Less than 1% dingy cutworm
damage. Velvet leaf very heavy in the new soil where the water way was at. Was
the wind blowing from the north the day that this was sprayed? We have a large
volume of weed pressure on the north side of the row where you planted over the
terraces.
Gerald's
Wheat: In the boot stage. will head in 7-10 days noting a little leaf rust where
didn't treat. A little yellow tinge where the surfactant hit the wheat. Flag
leave are clean with very little powdery mildew present. Rust is where we didn't
spray fungicide.
Darin's
Wheat: Flag leaves are clean the wind burned the Jagalene worse than others. No
rust noted here where sprayed.
Corn: Wind damage is superficial! Corn growing out. Where surface applied manure
corn looks better as the wind was raised up off the ground. Moderate foxtail
corn on corn no-till. Treat here this week with 16 oz glyphosate/ acre + 17# AMS/100gal
water.
Kruse:
Soybeans: Plant
Corn: NE corner running around 20000 plants per acre in the N-S rows.
3-4% dingy cutworm damage NE 5-10 acres. Spray here ASAP with 4-5 oz pounce per
acre in the morning or evening. As work south in the field the stand goes up to
24-26000 per acre. Not much difference between the planters noted here today.
Light freeze and wind damage south end and by water ways.
Lydik: 23-28000 plants per acre. 10-80% frost damage should be minor with warm
temps. West slope and lower ground showing more frost damage. Weed control is
good. Dayton's planter struggled where went straight across the terraces. Stand
appears to be more variable west than east. Different hybrids froze different.
North Wolney: 24-27000 plants per acre. 1st leaf. Good stand overall weed
