Relay soybeans look the best where wheat looks the worst. A balancing act ⚖️

Hail damage differences in standard and relay soybeans, and the edge effect of wheat. Just enough to knock leaves off unsheltered soybeans, thankfully not too much damage to wheat.

Update: starting to really shape up @KsSoybean
Guess which row is north 👀 Unique microclimates in this relay system are neat to consider.

V5 corn biomass today in our N-deficiency sensing project with Computer Science. Leaves will be falling off soon, so these reference plants with spray paint tattoos help us record the right V-stages in the next month. Sporting bright orange nails ourselves now @vi_signor 💅

Every year, this relay system feels a bit like a baby sea turtle situation. “Welcome to a world that’s harsher than you expected - surprise, you’re in a wheat field with huge plants to compete with - GO!”

Wheat in Hutchinson ready for a new adventure - relay milo goes in next week. Chinch bugs aren’t bad and weeds are mostly at bay. Narrow tractor tires and sliding row units will make it happen in the skip rows. Never know if you don’t try 🤷🏼‍♀️

Two years ago today, I married the Kansas farmer who DM-ed me a corny pickup line on this app. 🌽 Shoot your shot. …and send all relationship inquiries to master matchmaker @BriannaBuseman

It's giving "Kid in a Candy Store" 🍭 We're loving our new-to-us 6310 and this year's planter modifications. Our crew has been hard at work getting these relay soybeans in the ground. Excited to see how these do! @ncrsare @KsSoybean @AGCOcorp @kstateag @KStateAgron

… though small plot research does feel a bit like carpet farming compared to @wingfieldfarms and @jasonmauck1
