Today the team infested some rows with rootworm eggs. We infested the eggs at a rate of 800 eggs per row foot.
According to Larry, one of our agronomists, those under the tent were very difficult, due to having to drive around posts and bracing cables. You get a pretty bad stiff neck from having to drive while looking backwards all the time.
This photo shows how tightly the rows are planted in this one-acre test plot. Driving the tractor here is a real bear, as if you make one mistake and put a tire mark into a row, the soil will become compacted, or worse, you might damage the plants, and they won’t perform as well as they should.
