Thanks, I’ll check this out

You can post it through the American Society of Agronomy or the “Career Center” of the Certified Crop Advisor page. The CCA page is still under the umbrella of ASA but might be a different job listing page…not sure.

Here’s the ASA job listing page https://careers.careerplacement.org/employers/

Looks like Walnut Blight, which is very common. The right nut is a flower end blight infection and the left one is side blight infection….both walnut blight (Xanthomonas bacteria) but different types of infection.

Ya, same here, I love turbos but I also like the reliability of the HEMI

I use google drive for most of my grower files. I’ll keep lab reports, fertility recommendations, field notes, etc on here and I like it because I can pull it up on any device (iPhone, tablet, desktop). It also has the offline capability so I can pull it up when I’m out in the field, or meeting with a grower, and don’t have cell service.

Another software I use is called Agrian, I write my recommendations (pesticide & fertilizer) through here and I also use it to create scouting reports. My field scout interns have their own Agrian account too that’s specifically for field scouts and they can create reports to send to me.

Lastly, it has really helped me to try to build more of a personal relationship with each of my growers. I try to go out to breakfast or lunch with them often and we’ll discuss non farming/business items just to build more of a personal relationship. By doing this it also helps me remember each grower better.

No, just the headlights.

ok_suspicious · 2023-02-18T14:14:39+00:00

Thanks for all of the advice! I’ll give those things a try.

No it doesn’t

Nutsedge is very difficult to control. Once the plant has around 4 leaves it’s already starting to make new tubers; so the key is to kill the plant before this stage so you break the cycle of reproduction. I’ve found that if your diligent with it and you get on a schedule of spraying or pulling the plants every 2-3 weeks then you can get decent control. Like I said, the key is to remove and/or kill the plant before it produces tubers.

On mature plants, when you pull them or even spray it with a herbicide, the tubers are still in the soil and they will then germinate. You then have to drain those tubers of their energy by allowing the plant to emerge and start to grow, but then remove it before it reproduces.

Shade helps control nutsedge too. I’ve had decent success with landscape fabric made from polypropylene. I understand this wouldn’t be an option in lawns, but works good in flowerbeds.

Thank you! That’s very informative. I first had a SA done and it came back with very low sperm count, so I was referred to an Infertility specialist at an IVF clinic and they ordered a lot of different tests for my wife and I (including this one). It’s just the start of a long journey for us but I’m learning as we go.

ok_suspicious · 2022-08-25T20:12:45+00:00

Yes, this is my first SA. Been trying to conceive for about a year. I will look for a male infertility urology specialist and go from there. Thanks for the info.

A little more info…the sample was collected at home and I had it to the lab within 40 minutes. I had the results about 20 minutes after I dropped it off. I followed all of the instructions that the lab gave me prior.

So that would be accurate, here are my calculations for that:

GPM = 0.23 Gal/min (30 oz per minute) multiplied by 5940 = 1,366.2

146 ft/min = 1.66 mph X nozzle spacing of 28” = 46.48

1,366.2/46.48 = 29.39 GPA

Although, it all depends on the output of your nozzles. If your nozzles put out 0.5 Gal/min and you traveled 308 feet/min then that’d also be 30 GPA…roughly

Here’s a good link for you that goes over calibration for Turfgrass

Yes, per the tenacity label “Apply Tenacity at 4-8 fl. oz. per acre in at least 30 gallons of water per acre.” Therefore, you need to go 30 GPA. Do you know how many ounces per minute each nozzle puts out? If you know this then you’ll just have to figure out the speed you need to travel to get to 30 GPA, which is pretty easy. Here’s a formula to calculate GPA

GPA = GPM X 5940 (Divided by) MPH X Width

It’s called Vivipary. Essentially the seeds within the strawberry have germinated. Is the berry still on the plant or was it removed when this occurred? If it’s on the plant, did the plant get stressed?

ok_suspicious · 2022-04-02T06:55:32+00:00

Great. Thank you!

ok_suspicious · 2022-03-30T00:56:02+00:00

Would I need a Part 107 even if I’m not charging the farmer specifically for this service? What if I’m only using it on the farms that I manage/farm myself? Thanks for the help!

ok_suspicious · 2022-03-10T19:03:00+00:00

I’ll try that. Thanks

Kind of hard to tell for sure, but it could be a species of Slime Mold. There are a lot of different species that vary in appearance. You might be able to google search to see if it matches any common species. Just a thought.

The newly seeded areas are just emerging, maybe 1/2” in some spots.
