Southern Missouri | Used to be a lot of wheat grown in this area ,now hardly any,corn ,very early planted beans ,and cotton just make more profit than wheat double cropped with soybeans ,years ago a lot of corn was tried here after wheat ,looked real good and did good except the worms tried to carry it off and did a pretty good job of it,we’re all precision leveled and furrow irrigate everything any time it might possibly need it as water is super plentiful and very cheaply pumped,l planted a real good 80 in wheat this last fall and am doing everything possible to push yield on it,it’s planted on beds and if it gets to dry on it I’ll push water down the middles if the scout thinks it’ll do any good at all,the day we harvest the wheat I’ll plant a medium maturity corn with the best bt worm protection available and probably hit it with besiege come ear fill time,the irrigation tubing will be laid out as soon as the planter leaves the field and ready to water the heck out of it,just kind of experimental for us ,flew on 60 lb of n and some sulfur this past Thursday as per scout.We’re a good bit south of y’all though . | |
