AGR-196: Double Crop Curing Dark Fired Tobacco
Andy Bailey | Sep. 18, 2007 (New)
Double crop curing is the practice of curing two crops of tobacco in the same barn and growing season. The practice of double crop curing has been utilized by some dark-fired tobacco growers for several years but has increased in recent years as growers have attempted to consolidate operations a nd incre a se efficienc y of production. Tobacco buying companies have started accepting the crop earlier than in the past to better accommodate this practice.
AGR-194: Estimating Hail Damage in Corn
Chad Lee | Jul. 27, 2007 (New)
Hail is precipitation in the form of irregular shapes of ice. Hail can shred leaves off corn plants, bruise stalks, and turn a beautiful field of corn into bare stalks with a few ragged leaves. The initial sight of hail damage is sickening to any farmer. Small corn, with the growing point below the soil surface (see corn staging below) is highly tolerant to hail damage. As the growing point moves above the soil surface and the corn plant gets closer to tasseling, corn becomes more susceptible to hail damage. Corn is most susceptible to hail damage from the period just prior to tasseling
through early milk. Once corn passes the early milk stage, it becomes more
tolerant to hail damage.

AGR-195: Replanting Options for Corn
J.D. Green, Jim Herbek, Chad Lee, Jim Martin, Paul Vincelli | Jul. 27, 2007 (New)
Evaluating damaged corn stands and determining when to replant is often a difficult task. Survival, health, and expected yield of the current stand must be weighed against replanting costs, additional management, and expected yield of a replanted crop. The options are rarely clear-cut because damaged corn is rarely uniform throughout the field. The following information will help when making evaluations and management decisions.
