Rain continues hamper cotton planting as another shower hit west Tennessee on Friday. This one was a bit smaller than many we have received this spring (about 0.5 inches), so we hope to be back on the planter soon. Some of the cotton trials that we did manage to get out in early May will need to be re-planted. Cold temperatures and wet fields made for some pretty thin stands in some trials.
Corn is still about 3-4 leaf and yellow in many cases due to a lack of sun, too much water, and too little nitrogen. We did manage to get nitrogen on some trials last week and hope to get at least some nitrogen on the rest in the coming week.
Thanks to our friends from FMC and AgroFresh for coming by to visit last week. We enjoy getting to see old friends and discuss what is going on in the research plots.
We have high hopes for next week with high temperatures and low rain chances as an opportunity to make some progress in plot establishment. We wish the best to you on your week also.
