What’s pros and cons of J&M vs Elmer’s. Both on tracks. Both in that 2010-2015 yr model.

Update: Found the field, it got merged with a field it shouldn’t have. Must have zigged when I should have zagged.
Merged some fields on JD OP Center and I’ve lost all my info for this year. Usually after a 1/2 hour it show up but hasn’t this time. Guess I’ll wait a little longer and see if that helps.

Sure could use that warmth, didn’t have the A/C on, on way to farm today
El NiƱo is officially here! @NOAA National Weather Service announced today that El NiƱo has developed in the tropical Pacific, issuing an El NiƱo Advisory. They say it's expected to strengthen through fall and winter, but there's also a 63% chance the event reaches "very strong" status. The timing is notable: 75% of the U.S. is currently experiencing dryness or drought conditions, a slight improvement from last week. But a year ago, that figure was just 48%. A stronger El NiƱo could bring much-needed moisture to some drought-stricken areas. But the two areas meteorologists are still concerned about? The Pacific Northwest and parts of the South.

Farmers: The 2-4D Corteva chemical should be priced similar to generic 2-4D to promote labeled use for us. Corteva: Nah, we’ll keep our crazy margin on this chem and threaten jail time and fines instead. We’ll even try to get the government involved like we have done before.

We used our floats when we sprayed corn this year. Hard to tell were it ran over corn and didn’t.

Seeing, what I think to be, Outlook damage on black turtle dry beans. Thought it was supposed to be pretty safe as a pre emerge? Some of these might have been just below the surface when I sprayed. Anyone else see damage from Outlook as a pre?

This wind is making it real difficult to get crops sprayed. We damn near need 2 self propelled sprayers on 2 different crops when we get 1 day a week to spray.

If I think the one I'm pointing at leaks a little, not the ones with red knobs, does that involve needing to have the tractor jacked up?

Not a cattle guy anymore but my thoughts are it was just a matter of time till it was in the US.
A case of NWS may have been detected in South Texas. The sample is now at USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, lowa for confirmatory testing. We will provide updates the moment results are available. We have already activated personnel on the ground and are working with local partners. What you can expect from us is transparency, candor, and most important — action. screwworm.gov

The high plains corn farmer should start including the free real estate he takes up in the minds of the corn belt farmer on his balance sheet.
