| I think our biggest issue here was nitrogen loss. We put the majority of it on as anhydrous in the spring. June got so wet that the roots never had to go down. We had 20 inches of rain from Memorial Day until July 1st. The water pushed the nitrogen below the root systems, causing the plants to fire prematurely. Couple this with nights in the 80's, and you have a recipe for disaster. The plants never got a chance to shut down and rest.
In summary, the spring was the best spring we've had in many years.
The summer sucked.
Fields that normally run well above the 200 bpa mark are running anywhere from 130 - 180.
The 130 was probably our wettest field.
We will really get going this week, so I'll post more when I have better information. Lots of guys depressed around here. | |
