Episode 238: Boots In The Field Report June 4, 2021

Ken Ferrie recaps the reports from the north on frost damage from the past weekend and a planting update from the Quincy area. The beans at the Corn College Campus are starting to flower and Ken warns growers with early planted beans to make sure they aren’t knocking off these early flowers with miss-timed sprays that burn back the beans. He reports on calls concerning strong reactions from post sprays due to current weather patterns, heavy cutworm feeding, and damaged fields from 13 lined ground squirrels. Ken also explains the difference between the carbon penalty and the ugly corn syndrome in this week’s Boots In The Field Report.
