Here are the latest pictures from this past Friday, July 17.

We had a strong wind storm come through the plot area and pushed some plants, but I think most will be OK. We did have a little stalk breakage, but in the scheme of things it was minimal. Here are some photos of various areas of the plot.

Here's a picture of the twin row planting demo. This will be an interesting agronomic feature for farmers at this year's show.

The tallest corn is just slightly taller than the 8' fence. With 2 more leaves before tassel emergence occurs, we're on track to have some corn taller than last year.

We had temperatures last week - especially night time temps, which has slowed crop growth a bit.

We'll infest certain areas of the plot with corn earworm and fall armyworm soon.

Roundup Ready canola and Dicamba resistant beans have also been planted in the plot.

There are no insects or plant diseases yet and weeds are well under control.... again, life is good.
