Dracula and Frankenstein can hit the bricks. Since the scariest thing for a farmer is pests in their fields, but no worries, we’ll be there all season to help you fight. Here’s to #harvest, and next year being full of treats and no tricks. 👻

#TuesdayTips with Jay Mahaffey: “Cotton farming isn’t arithmetic, it’s calculus.”
One wrong curve doesn't mean game over. Jay's unofficial motto? "Never say die in a cotton field." 💪

Attached is a link to a research report from work done at the Scott Learning Center during 2023. It's quite a story and took a while to get together but here it is in the final form.
Thanks for reading and come see us when you can.

First trial of the year planted. 4 hybrids planted 1.25” and 2.5” deep. Less than 24 hours ahead of cool rain. Not how I would do it commercially - we are doing science at the SLC. Our data long term says there is a time to not plant corn but not a time to plant corn shallow.

This plant needs a name - or maybe at least a nickname. It’s a DP 2127 B3XF plant that has become the unofficial LC mascot. We plan to keep it growing around the office for a while. Any suggestions??

The ThryvOn Difference. An example of the damage, maturity delay and potential yield penalty that thrips can inflict. DP 2131 B3TXF on the left; and untreated, non ThryvOn competitor on the right. Both totally untreated for thrips other than insecticidal seed treatments.

Refuge corn doing it’s job of generating susceptible ear worms. Infested nearly 100%. This is a cautionary tale for cotton and soybeans in about 3 weeks at the latitude of Scott, MS. KEEP SCOUTING!!! @Asgrow_DEKALB @ideasgotogrow @Bugman70
