Subject: RE: MIke SE IL White Corn

West Union, Illinois

I don't think there is any economic injury. There is one spot that I lost some plants and a few are stunted, but it is also the field entrance and usually gets pretty beat up anyway. I'll try and attach a few photos.

245 is the worst injured area. It's maybe twice the size of a pickup truck. I included the clipboard for a size reference. 247 shows an unaffected area for comparison. I'm not sure about the bare spot. Could have been a planter operator not used to his new planter (this was the first field we planted) or could be related to a new to us rear mount cultivator.

251 shows a stunted plant. There are really not that many.

253 shows a little dead corn. Like the stunted plants, it is also very localized. Both are limited to a spot most likely in excess of 3x the rate as it is where point rows met end rows.

248 is a shot across the field. 250 is between the two varieties a they are striped across the field. You have to really look closely in the field to see a difference now.
