We know time is tight for our farmers during the farming season, so this year, we are kicking off a social media campaign to summarize a weekly takeaway or highlight that our agronomists really want to push each week. "Agronomy Tip of the Week".
Today's tip, from our Agronomist Mike is "If in doubt of your wheat crop, consider counting your stand. Measure off 1 foot in a row. Count your plants, Do this in 10 different spots in a field. Calculate the average number of plants per foot.
7 plants/ft or less – terminate it
8 to 10 plants/ft – carefully weigh alternatives
11 plants/ft or more is worth keeping"
