Pasco WA. | Most of the exporters are still saying no. One of my neighbors took their RR seed back because their exporter would not accept it. However another export grower neighbor planted a pivot. Says his exporter says no problem. I plan to sell to local dairys, unless an exporter comes begging. As soon as the export market opens up there will me a lot of RR acres in this area.
It's hard to guess what the yeild difference will be. I planted early when it was hot. Spray 24DB or Raptor in 100 degree heat and it is very hard on alfalfa. In fact I lost the fall cutting on a new seeding that I sprayed Raptor on a couple of years ago. The alfalfa just sat there and did not grow for close to two weeks. So far I have not figured out any other option to take out pig weed in a new seeding. I saw a new seeding today that was border sprayed. Looked like Raptor or Pursuit by how everything looked. Was being cut and you could barely find a windrow where it was sprayed. The rest of the field was weedy and looked like it was going around a ton. | |
