interesting... oats

[Hopperbin]

Ok makes sense now. I think.

[seabass]

How is possible to replicate trials on that land klause. Its either high or low throughout the whole field

[Klause]

We did half and half. Then did three passes thr opposite treatment on each side. When we swathed those passes were marked.

that's why hopper saw swaths picked up randomly...

[Hopperbin]

Did not checked the swaths supposedly picked uprandom. You planted north and south. Combining n and s. But claiming east and west test strip. So your saying you planted n and s with variable rate. Then which way are the spray tracks. So to make sense.

[Hopperbin]

No thats totally ****ed up. Any claim of a yield b ushel weight on that field from what you did is ****ed up.

[Klause]

Somebody's ****ed up alright...


I have no idea where you got that from.

It was seeded sprayed and combined n/s.


There are 3 strips of opposing treatment on each side of the field. They run n/s and they are 60 feet wide.


Swather cut 1 30 ft swath out of them.


On e half of field the test strips ended up only half the length of the field on the N half because we ran outta product



I know you don't like to think so... but I do k ow what I'm doing.

hopper kinda sounds like you saskcan - lol
Know the facts before disagreeing.
BTW - instead of coffee shop b/s, stop by and I will show you all the foliar results first hand , good, even and negative. Plus all the phone numbers of guys who used the products - please don't go by hear say - . You shoulda came out this summer to that missed strip in the peas, you never did come over for that one. We will have a full report on that as well from the Rack in a few days - btw it was not all just root rot or what ever the coffee shop said it is/was.

Klause, you live too close to Hopper. Can you buy him out?

Furrow - I dispute a lot of salesmen. Not saying you're wrong with your assetments just saying that somethings need to be taken with a grain of salt. Unless I hear it from the horses mouth I call it coffee shop talk. Figure of speech. Normally other salesmen trying to sell their own product. I try and trial a lot of products trying to squeeze out the extra dollar. Krugler probably won't be one. It is the same as many products of the past IMO. A pound of N is a pound of N no matter how the plant gets it. If you want to get seriously into top dressing there are a lot cheaper products. Yes you can add Krugler to you herb/fungi apps. Yes it claims to have a low salt index. If you are deficient on other macros come fungi timing you are to late. I believe you should see a benefit with the product but I also believe there are better ROI to be had. It's not a snake oil just over priced fert. It will be interesting to see % of return customers on the products.

Now onto Heat. Again I don't dispute that it was a mitigating factor in the downfall of a couple of your fields but I know for a fact it wasn't the ultimate on mine or others who's field peas had the same fate. I have side by sides as do others showing crop rotation or frequency of peas seeded was the ultimate factor (as well as moisture obviously). I have a feeling it probably wasn't a battle worth fighting for. Will we see an addition to the label? Maybe? Just my humble opinion.

With that being said I always respect someone who has a passion for farming like you do. I always look forward to your results be it variety chemical fert or whatever it might be. We farm a different way. You make it work and I make it work. We love what we do or we wouldn't try to improve. If I didn't question you I couldn't get the answers and I couldn't hold salesmen/farmers accountable. Sorry for rambling along. Might even try a pioneer canola this year! Still looking for a RR variety I like.
