Colby, Kansas | Phil,
I think Matt has a point with the moisture and weather in general, I know that even up here in the McCook area and around Scott City which gets around 3-4" more precip than Tribune there are huge differences in how the stubble stands both from year to year and between fields any given year. I think there are several things going on there, for awhile I thought there may be a variety component and although I think that's important it isn't the only thing affecting the straw standability. I think there may be some fertility issues intertwined as well. I have several producers in the Leoti area tell me that the stubble went down the worst in areas of the field that they knew were high in fertility.
Hopefully we can figure out how to improve the standability of the stubble as that's key to a lot of the benefits, particularly snow catch, as well as making planting much easier.
Hows wheat harvest progressing for you.
Regards,
Lucas
