Thank you for sharing some of your thought process, Jack! Definitely a lot more to think about than conventional farming, not just taking out weeds but planning your passes to prevent weeds as much as possible too. You know your stuff. Thank you again! Hope you have a good one!

I really enjoyed the update! It's been wet here this year. Today was the first time I got some tilling done and the ground was a little wetter than I like. It's way different from last year's drought at this time. It's a lot easier keeping up the weeds in a drought lol. The cover crop from the Fall didn't help matters much getting an early start when there was a window of dryness. Thanks for sharing and have a great evening!

Such is life. The last 3 years have kept me guessing, but all in all, have been extremely productive. The key has been diversity Rob🤷♂️🙂

Wheat is starting to turn yellow down in South central Kansas, rain every couple of days. Don’t know rainfall totals, I’m comfortably sitting in Anchorage AK, 55 degrees.

What do you run behind your FC? Your dirt looks like it could be planted right behind your FC. Mine looks like a light chisel plow when it’s done and I have to disc with a rolling barrow every time I fc.

I always plant behind an FC. Mine has the 4 bar harrow 🙂. My soil is rather friable 🤷♂️🙂

What is your recommendation for it raining every 3 days. I have mostly sandy soil. This year for better or worse I mudded in the corn. Not what I like to do but between the insurance dates and it not really ever drying up I just went for it. I'm going to try aggressively tine weeding 2x in-between the rains. And possibly do a blind flaming over the row before emergence. Any tips or thoughts?

My biggest yield limiting factor isn't weeds. It's moisture. I couldn't pass up on loosing to many rain chances as when it quit rains rain it goes to a drought.

Very hard decisions 🤷♂️😳🫤. Flaming kinda only choice. I had a year like that, only got 1 cultivation, but wasn’t bad corn…probably 120. My generalities are planting/cultivation conditions are FAR more important than the calendar, you can’t farm a weather forecast, insurance deadlines or previous events! You have to play the cards in your hand. It’s never as good as you hope OR as bad as you think. BTW, I don’t crop insure, but do recommend it for my mentees as the dollars are just relentless if you don’t have many structural mitigation strategies 🤷♂️. Good luck 👍🏻

Four weather apps on your phone. Yup. It's an occupational hazard.
