The pilgrim planted maize from the Native Americans which was much like volunteer corn sprouting from the previous crop. This corn didn’t look much like our uniform plant culture of todays corn fields. All the genetic variation was expressed some good. Some not so good. But a natural selection process took place that we needed to see the big improvements that we have today.
“In 1972–1978, 100% of the fields in the trial were all conventional till,” he says. “In 1979, the first reported no-till field came in as a practice for our performance trials, and no-till started to expand over time. By 1996, we had the first report for stale seedbed, which is a reduced tillage practice aiming at better weed control. By 2008–2010, only about 15% of the fields in the trial were still conventional till with the rest being minimum or reduced till. From 2013–2020, strip-till was introduced. By 2021, none of our fields in the trials had conventional till, The pilgrim planted maize from the native Americans which was much like volunteer corn sprouting from the previous crop.

"The Moth Hit My Windshield"
Now you would say I will have to wash my vehicle, but I say the pests have arrived. The moth flight in April is the result of the adult stage of our common pests. Arriving on the southern winds. Imagine there is some sorghum fields Kansas that had a population of western cutworms and now the strong winds have brought this pest to our corn fields. They are looking for any green now to lay eggs and start the life cycle over again.
The cutworm is a voracious eater and will climb on the young growing plant . As they grow bigger the damage is more severe to the ear set and damage later in fall by damage to the ear shank. The threshold for economic damage depends on the population the concentration of the egg masses and the crop planted.
Another pest that is looking for green space (even lawns and grass borders) is the chinch bug. This hungry feeder shows damage in dry years and will cause soybean pods to shrivel and not fill pods.
