Kansas Corn

As fuel prices continue to rise, Californias are benefitting from the nearly half price fuel E-85 offers! Each of the 465+ E-85 retail partners across California use the equivalent of 2,700 acres of Kansas corn per year ⛽🌽

🚨Corn Leafhopper’s were found this week in Caddo County, Oklahoma. Now is the time to step up your scouting efforts in Kansas. Kansas Corn, in partnership with KSU Plant Pathology, has 35 corn leafhopper trapping stations around Kansas.

update from Roy Hervey in Cowley County:

“The corn is coming along pretty good this year. We’ve been getting some timely rains for the most part. I planted my Corn Yield Contest plot around April 15 using LG Seeds LG67C91 [picture 2]. We put on about 30 gallons of 30-0-3 fertilizer to begin with and we’ll put another 15 gallons of that on today.

We put down Conklin 3-15-19 3 at 6 gallons an acre as a starter with a pint of Syntose liquid sugar and a quart of zinc. We’ll go back and foliar feed that with the same blend in a gallon an acre. My son will drone spray some Versa Max, fungicide, and boron at pre-tassel and we’ll do that again post-tassel.”
