Scranton | We could only spray some organic copper spray on and I'm not sure if that did a thing. And we got hit as hard as anyone with rust. Even my farms five miles north didn't get hit as bad.
I can drive around and see every variety that handled it better. They are still green as my late may planted should be. I plant mostly side by side in my fields, and so many fields are green/brown stripes.
Here: Shorter season (closer to 100 day corn) apparently had zero southern rust resistance. I've got a 110 day P that handled it excellent, and of course they aren't selling that AT ALL next season.
I'm going to look at varieties from closer to Missouri. I've had decent success with short season in the last five years of very dry aug/septs where I was loading directly onto train cars, but man they look like they took a hit this year. | |
