Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sugar beets and disease management after turbulent weather
Q: Any issues with sugar beet root maggot this year or outlook on that?
Root maggot is a major concern in northern parts of the valley with flies evident in fields; the timeline for peak flight may be later than normal due to cooler conditions, which could help establishment but still signals a notable threat.
The most important topic that no one wants to discuss
Q: How do we distinguish normal farm talk from signs that someone might be at serious risk?
Acknowledge the seriousness, listen, and gently check in about their emotional state and safety, then direct them to available resources such as farm stress helplines and local mental health professionals.
Early season soybean agronomy and weed management
Q: What should growers do this year given potential waterhemp emergence with upcoming rain and soil moisture?
Use a layering residual approach with a pre-emergence plus a post-emergence tank mix that includes a Group 15 herbicide, to preempt and control the flush of waterhemp through July and beyond.
Early season soybean agronomy and weed management
Q: Is there a height-based guideline for herbicide effectiveness on weeds like lambsquarters and waterhemp when using more broadly-perspective products?
Spraying weeds when they are four inches or smaller tends to give better control with systemic products like 2,4-D; taller weeds often escape and may require different approaches or tank-mix strategies.
Early season soybean agronomy and weed management
Q: What about the replant decision when stands are not very good—tear up and replant vs. spike in alongside the existing plants?
Replanting should generally not be the default unless the stand is catastrophically poor; spiking in and adjusting plant population to maintain yield potential, while protecting the existing stand, is often more economical and less disruptive.
