Corn Soybean Special

The meeting was not too bad yesterday. Seemed most of the people there were Ag suppliers, but I guess around half were farmers. Dr Fernandez talked about sulfur. He checking for responsive soils rather than going by soil test although I talked to him afterward and he seemed open to using soil tests. He is looking for sulfur deeper than the surface.

Corn Nematodes are being preached. They are out there, but yield data seemed non-specific.

Darrell Goode explained the crop reporting model for yield. It is really pretty accurate. He also has a weather related model that is similar. That was pretty interesting.

Attendance was off a lot from last year. Last year is was over 300. This year 205. In the polling things they did, there were 160 to 170 respondents for most of the questions.
