these are the best fields. Will def know to go a little heavier next year on my seeding! But I def think they need the recommended fertilizer which was 0-60-0 on half and 0-0-40 in the bottoms

Hopefully yours will make it. It seems when they have found mine, it's less than 48 hours before the field is toast(1-2acres). Barber shop has a bag full of hair waiting for me to pick up. Gonna put that out tomorrow and 5-15-30 fore runner fert Wednesday or Thursday.

I found army worms in 80% of my stand early yesterday morning while putting hair along the perimeter. Sprayed them immediately with a mix of Asana XL, Reveal, and a little Roundup. No worms today when i checked them. I rushed to get fertilizer out this morning thinking we would get rain today. Fingers crossed for tomorrow i guess.

From article on Crop Day at Stoneville:
http://msucares.com/news/print/agnews/a ... 40620.html

Soybeans …

MSU experts addressed problems with fall armyworms, which are showing up this summer. Angus Catchot, Extension entomologist, said the rice strain of the fall armyworm prefers grasses but has been a problem in some soybean fields this year.

“We’ve had several instances where fields were grassy because producers have not been able to make herbicide applications due to extensive rain,” Catchot said. “Now that the ground dried up enough for them to finally be able to spray herbicides, they killed the grass and the armyworms went immediately to the soybeans.

“It happens very fast, and armyworms can strip the plants in just a few days,” he said. “If you have grassy beans and are making a herbicide application, scout the grass. If armyworms are present, they are easy to control with pyrethroid insecticides applied along with the herbicide.”

Scouting for insect pests is vital, and the experts urged producers to follow MSU recommendations and only treat when pest numbers reach certain thresholds
Experience is a freakin' awesome teacher...

I will carry some out with me Sunday just in case but I didn't seem to see any when I went out Wednesday.

The thing about army worms is the moths fly in and lay the eggs and in a few days you have trouble.

Big problem in the fall when southern winds from hurricanes bring moths in.

We have always had trouble with them in the fall, but i've never seen them in beans here. We usually plant our fall plots late due to them.

I hit these yesterday with Volunteer and Roundup. 2 inches of rain and some 5-15-30 has helped a good bit. The hair trick has kept mine alive. There have been a few deer that were brave enough to cross the hair perimeter, but not many compared to before I put out hair.

Came out this afternoon and sprayed for bugs, noticed a lot of holes in plants. Checked my wire cage

those look pretty good but deer are absolutely hammering them. Most are knee high or so. Went ahead and fertilized everything, hopefully it will give em a jump or they may be disced under when wheat goes in and lime it all, since my ph is a lil low but didn't have time to apply before planting

I decided to let the deer in mine. Hopefully they won't eat them to the ground.

10-4. Bermuda and rhizome johnsongrass are boogers. They just keep coming back from the root. I hit Bermuda with a couple quarts of glyphosate and when it greens up again I put 16 oz of clethodim on it. Takes about 2 years of doing this 3 times a summer to get it. A fall application also deals a huge blow to perennials.

I'm rotating my moist soil with 2 years of RR crops. That two years of Roundup helps....until the RR pigweed gets thick. Then 2,4-D the moist soil years helps.
