Shipman

Sorry this did not get posted.  Blogger was down at least to my login past 6 AM  today when I left for the field.  Here is the blog as written last night. 

I worked in the Shipman, IL area yesterday. Close to home. There was a lot of field work underway. The people we sampled today were finishing up corn. They will probably start soybeans as soon as the weather allows. We missed the popup thunderstorms today.
One thing of interest I found was Alfalfa Weevil. They damage the quality and quantity of the alfalfa. Now is the time to be scouting. They can eat a lot in a hurry. The University of Illinois has all the information you need here.Alfalfa Weevil.
