Corn Production in Arkansas

General Info |
Fields ranged from V11 to R1. All the fields are in excellent shape. The late-planted field in Independence County received a flood irrigation and took it well. I was concerned that it was too small, but it all went well. Some of the fields have hit R1. We continue to scout for Southern Rust and are prepared to spray if necessary. All the fields are Bt, so Corn Bores are not a concern. | ||
