Thread:
With fertilizer prices hikes folks are looking for options. I believe that all products and methods have a place, somewhere. But there is nothing suited for every field and year, including traditional commercial fertilizer. and other established practices.

Headed for the Finish Line for Corn in 2025. Still could use a solid rain to realize the potential of what is left of this crop.

People being 2 or 3 generations away from famine have the nourishment that allows them to get wild ideas and blame the very science, ingenuity and innovation that prevents famines today.

Time for a few ear samples in our @CornTennessee funded trials this year. Ran into a little southern rust along the way. Thankfully we are well into R5 at this point. Some good looking corn despite the lack of recent rainfall. @UTcrops

200 years ago,
everything was “organic”.
No GMOs.
No “chemicals.”
All natural.
All local.
And people died at 35.
So no. Organic didn’t mean healthy. It meant starving, sick, or dead.
Let’s not romanticize the past.

🦌 everywhere you look, & each year seems worse than the last. Sprays are 💴 & usually ineffective in high populations. Also a tough problem to shoot your way out of. Depending on growth stage, many plants will survive. Damage has been assessed, yield loss yet TBD. 🦌 @UTIAg
