And this has some moisture
When dry , it’s even more blocky and layered

Going to need a miracle to be knee high by 4th of July! Corn and Soy are warm blooded crops... cool Augusts... just like growing Lentils... make maturing these crops with mature decent yields... a 1 year in 5 proposition... unless you believe in global warming... which fails to materialize in last half August/September much too often...[3 out of 5 years].

Not far off now ….


Definitely need more heat units but coming along

There was quite the debate here last fall about spraying after harvest ……..

Sprayed

Just pulled from surface

Anything we dug out is just fine

Not seeing much of a rhizosphere there
I can see remnants of the seed treatment colour so it appears you're applying a fungicide seed treatment therefore working against yourself compromising the mycorrhizal development. Have a look at this taken earlier today. Bare seed treated with multi species beneficial bacteria and fungi.

We use 1/2 rate seed treatment with a Crop Aid seed treatment nutrient that includes kelp and bacteria as well . Don’t need to be lectured on seed treatments. I know , phasing them out when we can after we get the soil back in shape .
I will dig plants properly and show roots nice a washed too lol.
Nice root system there, is that on your farm ? What kind of soil ? How much moisture to date ?
Is that from you friends farm ?

This is from a demonstration site east of Tambellup. Several 20 hectare plots with a few different things happening. Sown may 24th into good conditions, approx 50 mm in may and 65 mm rain in June.Few sprinkles in July with 5 to 10 mm coming tomorrow. Soil is a classic duplex in this region, gravelly loam with sandier areas over clay at variable depths. pH about 5.3 and 2% organic carbon.
