We had an airplane apply fungicide to our corn here in Northeastern Ohio. With the heavy dews in the morning and humid weather we just could not take a chance with bushel loss. You might want to try Farmsever software by Beck's. If you are a customer its free and easy to use when crop scouting. Take an I Pad to the field take pictures, notes, walk the outline of an area in a field. It also links with My John Deere. I find it a good way to show profit or loss when making choices in specific areas of a field.

Between the different seed varieties, and the different treatments applied to them. I would think it must be a real challenge to keep track of it all, and figure out what worked and what didn't.

I saw the two Luke's doing a water only field demo (and a small spot of yard spraying behind some buildings) for Zach at millennialfarmer; interesting process. Regarding your weird looking beans on that hill; you didn't mention if you checked for insect or fungal pressure issues. On the assumption these weren't apparent problems could it be some sort of micronutrient shortfall problem. Not sure of your exact soil type at that spot but I remember from my childhood on the farm, having picked rocks by hand for hundreds of hours, that our mostly Grey wooded soil fields were actually quite variable. Flatter fields were generally quite uniform and even, and not prone to having a lot of rocks. Some of our land had some small hills and this was where the worst rock farming happened. The hills were invariably a lighter colour than the low spots and were often somewhat sandy. It seems through time the organic matter and micronutrients migrated from these small hills to the low spots between them. Yields on the hilltops were generally poorer than in the lower spots and this difference was only partially explained through better moisture retention in the low spots. Our area almost always had adequate moisture, both through snowfall retention and ample spring and summer moisture. Poor soil quality offset by very good moisture levels year in and year out. But the hilltops were always lighter in yield, often by 20 - 25 percent. Later soil testing showed the hilltops to have reduced micronutrient levels, often low enough to cause a significant yield reduction. Your patchy beans on the hill may be an indication of that issue. Just a possibility for you to consider.

you should take a leaf sample of the brown streak on it and the spots to your local agronomists.

It’s where there had been damage to the corn, like deer eating at it or it getting ran over

Zoe First sorry for all the questions So what would the cost be if u did all the spraying all the same By doing it the 3 way U said what is cheapest to expensive And last what loses do u have even by doing the deference Oh and how many acres do u have/do Keep the videos coming Thanks

I’ve have sense priced some elsewhere right now I can get the drone, sprayer, and crop duster for relatively the same price. If I sprayed all the corn acres I’m looking at around $31,000-$40,000 in total for the fungicide pass
