Just looked at weather site - says calm for wind , first time all year and most herb spraying done - murphies law - lol
Sucks cause now after all the winds and drift damage there are a lot of messes to be dealt with.

I thought this thread title was going to discuss me.

It still can farma!!! Just kidding!

Yes it is a very nice spray day but we are done herbicides. Now just deciding on fungicides and foliar fert for certain fields. Pretty dewy every morning but everything looks good with minimal disease. Weather is supposed to be warm so should have good growing conditions.

Not quite done. Expect a little more wind until.

4G, why not just put the fertilizer in the ground? Leaves aren't really made for absorbing fert, but roots are.

Tweety tell that to guys guys loosing crop right now - that don't pay bills

[tweety]

But why spend money on something that gives little to no return? Isn't that just double bad then?

How are they losing crops?

Put it in the ground and go camping, surfing and fishing with the kids. Pissed around with foliar for years. Did this trial and that trial, melted urea, blew G22 around, did this and did that wearing out a expensive sprayed. Best decision ever to man up and started put it all in the ground a few years ago. She's a done deal when it's seeded. Planes booked and heading to the River. Life's to short to run around with foliar this and that all of June and July. Each to their own, however i Could care less anymore.

JD Green - well put application cost adds up. I have slowly increased fertilizer rates. I am now at enough fert placed at seeding for what I consider a slightly above average yield. I will continue to add a pound or two every year til I think yeah that's enough. At the point where a small side banding opener is no longer an option for dry fert and have to look at other options. Wish I could just book the plane for fungicides/bugs. Probably should but toe that is easy acres to cover - real no drift concerns and I can cover 1000 acres easy a day or nite - in-crop I am only 700 acres because I am moving and always figuring out where I can go next so I do not cause harm to neighbour.
