Invigor 345 issues 2022

[furrowtickler]

P505MSL


Planted at 210,000 seeds / ac
Took one of the 3 frosts but grew right through
Never had to spray for beetles

Invigour 233P seeded May 22nd if you can believe it.

Dont know if it was a seed batch problem or we seeded too shallow and the winds dried the and crusted the top layer until we got a rain.

Later seeded stuff looks better for most guys.

Absolutely they should pick up the cost without a doubt . It can be done for less than $10 / ac
I know it was brought up but quickly ignored, “give it time “ is the fall back . Time is too critical to wait , this is not Kansas with 150 frost free days ….

Yep they weren’t going to sit around and wait with what’s on the line. Can throw some basic alpine at it which would be cheapest, I think they went with something called Jolt.

The ulitmate, farmer jury will decide at harvest, when its in the bin. Cant argue or ignore those results. Could be devastating for invigor or out vigor.

Just saw a neighbor's field of 345.
From the road it's mostly bare yet.
No excuse for seed issues like that is there?

Earlier today while we were spraying for Bugs for the 3rd time in an effort to give it what little chance it has 340 and 345 side by side same everything. We took out a 245 acre field that was worse and put it in barley 10 days ago . Probably should have done the same here. Absolutely heartsick I take such pride in my crops and to have BASF do this to us is devastating. Not a call or email since my son met with their tech rep. All she said was yes there's a problem. Next step is probably our lawyers it looks like. Huge problem not isolated like they claim I know 3 people 100 miles apart exactly the same variety exactly the same problem.

Let us know how you make out with the company.

Lots of last years straw on top, huge difference between this one and black fields this spring. We have some fields that we didn’t heavy harrow and some we did had a huge difference between them.

Yes we saw the same
Juiced and harrowed fields way better
Harrowed fields way better than not

Same here .



Harrowed once this spring then planted at 210,000 seeds per acre

Anything not harrowed was streaky a bit

What seed size Jazz? Have 233p size D in the same field as 340 seed size B. Can't tell em apart.

Size A and B. Never been close to getting a D yet so dont know if it would be better or not. Would like to try.

The straw in the pic is from 2 yrs ago, that field was in lentils last yr. Harrowed field was much worse than into lentil stubble but its shaped up a bit this week and coming around with some much needed rain.

Just noticing slow growth compared to last yr and it cant all be my fault.

Hopefully farmers dont forget the retailers that tried to force seed sales to protect liberty herbicide sales , this tactic seems to have backfired and only the farmers will lose

[Guest]

the thing that is really gonna bite the big guy in the ass ,is that 1000's of farmers, including us , found out the story that generic liberty doesn't work is pure bull shit.
as a side note we paid for our (BASF) liberty in feb , to date we have only received 40% of it . everyone had liberty except the big one

[beaverdam]
