Dezi DeRaedt plants soybeans May 30, 2013

The soybean plot was planted on May 30.  Thank you to Nick Nagele who provided us with a donation of NK beans for the plot.  Treatments for this plot will be discussed at our next board meeting and published when they become available.

Tillage was competed today in preparation for the KCCG annual corn variety plot.  Hopefully we get the plot planter here tomorrow.  This year we will be planting the corn plot with a “FIRST” plot planter.  This will be a randomized, replicated plot, in order to take field variability out of the equation.  We are hoping to provide the best data possible this fall to our members and participating seed companies.

Stakes have been added to the plot indicating where the FIRST trials are to be planted.  If everything goes right, we should be planting within 1 week from today.
