I spent the day working West of Medora today. The weather was beautiful. Field work was still minimal today.. I saw some spraying and nitrogen application going on.
I observed some sulfur deficiency in some corn today that should not have been deficient. I visited with my customer and he had put sulfur in elemental form as well as in his liquid starter. A seed company agronomist was also present during my discussion. I had already thought about cold wet weather being a possible cause. The agronomist gave cold wet weather as his opinion before I voiced mine. He thinks lack of oxygen and lack of microbial activity both played a role.
My customer has also set up a test strip for starter fertilizer. Right now the corn with starter looks better. We will see if that shows up in the yield.
