Today’s agenda - Put a bunch of different cotton defoliation mixes in the drone and see what works and what not. Never a dull day in the drone world!!

Great day picking peanuts in our #precisionag studies in South Alabama yesterday. It was also exciting to work with Kelley Manufacturing Co. (KMC) & test their newest yield monitor (PodPro). Pretty good results so far, look forward to more evaluation this harvest! @AU_PrecisionAg

The crew has been hustling hard lately to wrap up data collection in our various on-farm #plantertech trials across the state and helping with everything else in between. We are ready for some #restandrecovery and wish everyone a great 4th of July weekend. @AuburnAg #ALExtension

With #plant26 wrapped up, our team has been busy collecting data in different #plantertech studies across the state so we can evaluate the performance of various planter technologies and other treatments. We will be sharing some of this data at the upcoming field days!! @AuburnAg

90 lb of nitrogen the crop didn't need. Shorter, AL irrigated corn, 2025. Grower planned 120 lb N/ac at sidedress. Sentinel said 30. Sufficiency held. Yield within 1 bu of the grower. +$55/ac. #IrrigatedAg #NitrogenEfficiency #PrecisionAg

Another successful #plant26 run this week with multiple cotton (and one soybean) studies in the ground with more grower collaborators and at Auburn research stations across the state. The finish line is so close we can almost feel it! @AuburnAg @DwaineEddie @AlfaFarmers #alcotton
