Last pass of late season testing. How do you get to the bottom of a R5 soybean canopy? It’s not a drone! 40gpa seems to be getting me there! ⁦@BASFAgProducts

P1742 has some issues. How bad? I think it will take top %10 off maybe more if the ears that pollinated unevenly abort random kernels. This is not the only hybrid doing this. Hybrids with little to no lateral branching on tassels are the worst. Easy to spot, silks long and pink

My nephew loves farming. He is 7! I think he’s getting the hang of it! Told him his head should always be on a swivel and hand on the propulsion handle to stop and adjust boom height.

Switched to the Deere 3D nozzles. Running them on A and B on the exact apply. One is facing forward one is facing back. 20gpa. 10oz veltyma and an insecticide. Doing a great job with coverage.

Such a bad design. Electronics, bugs and pollen…. Makes it easy to see what assortment of bugs we have. In this loads catch we had Jap Beatles, northern CRW, western CRW, bean leaf beetles and lady bugs. @JohnDeere you need to fix this.

Doing a replicated veltyma trial of heat of the day vs early morning. Heat index was 101° at application timing. Morning should be 68°. Does 20gpa take out the heat affects… I only did one load for a reason… but we will see. @BASF @WyffelsHybrids @LGSeeds

This is our 10th year y dropping corn. We have tried many auto steer options. Reichhart, yield360, and the John Deere feelers. Finally running auto path I can focus on boom height and overall less stress on the operator. like a lot less! Best thing we have added in a long time

When people ask me how I sidedress my 15in corn. @360yieldcenter solved that problem a long time ago!

It sure was a Good Friday! Planted 400 acres including a 45 acre 54 entry plot, non gmo, non gmo white corn and traited hybrids. Then jumped in the sprayer at 9pm and sprayed 900 acres by 3am! Just in time!

This is what happens when you deal with big retailers. 29mph winds right now… I have seen it with sprayers today as well. They have to cover the acreage. They just choose farmers that bitch the least to do it on. @nutrien

Beat the rain last night. Auto path is working great in this caseih 595 quad. Running a G5 with 7500 globes. Also have a 1200, 700, 20/20 and an iPad. I thought I would hate the cluster but i don’t ever have to switch screens so I guess I got that going for me 🤣
