#RedClover & #CoverCrop burndowns day! 1.25L of 540 glyphosate gets added as well. We've yet to get a killing frost so time to do it ourselves. #OntAg

More than 30 years of spray calculators, excel spreadsheets and decision-support tools are now migrating to 101 as web apps.
The first batch is now live.

Happened again:
29 years in a row soybean field: 65.35bu/ac, 10.9%
My C/S/C/S field alongside: 65.53, 11.5%
Variety on both: @PioneerSeedsCA #P28Z58E
Same row width, same seeding rate, same planting date, same CP program, same operator; it's really amazing.

Our long-awaited best practices white sheet for pesticide application by drone. Detailed enough to be actionable, but not so overly prescriptive that it's obsolete in a week. Hopefully accessible to new applicators and to pros.
