Good Morning!
We are now just two weeks away from the Fennig Field Day! We have been interseeding cover crops this week into the corn we planted mid July for demonstrations. This week has been mostly dry and I am hearing from a lot of customers that they are in desperate need of a good rain shower, Next week Mitch and Adam will travel to Missouri and back home through Iowa so it will be interesting to see how crops look out here, Of course the Pro Farmer crop tours are starting as well so those results will be exciting to see. County fairs are mostly over which means cool nights and brown leaves are near, which is hard to believe given how green the crops still are! Have a great weekend!

If your corn tassels on 8/7/19 black layer will be around the 1st of October. Average Frost dates in OH are any where from the 8th-18th of October which means we will be dancing with danger if we have an earlier than average frost.
