    What would you do???

    Checked the fields tonight that we sprayed for midge on wed, just as many or more there again. Phone the Dow rep of Mon a.m.? Spray again? I mean *** me $4 wheat? Conditions when sprayed were perfect, as far as weather and timeing - not spelling. At $7/bus hrsw - as we should be getting - differernt story.

    Better check the new initials the Board announced Friday. You'll wonder why you bothered the first time.

      Check the $ diff from a number 1 to a number 3 (all grade loss due to midge) x 50 bus and then ask again. I could care less about the 4-5 bus yield loss at these returns, it is the grade loss that will kick you in the balls or has an 80% chance to with the levels we have. Again what would you do???

          Is it still in stage? Once the anther is out its done. I left mine because the is only 10% left to come. The little bastards can have it. There is only about a four day window per head you need to worry about.

              Spray half and hopefully if there is a problem you will have some blending power. I know how your feeling you just keep pouring cash into a crop you hopefully get.

                I'd make sure I had some unity ordered for next year too.

                  We have enough goodeve for seed in 90ac, but that does not help now.
                  Should i phone the Dow rep about haveing to respray just 4 days after a perfect application - I am just peeved that iy may not have worked at all. I hate spraying that stinky shit once let alone twice within 5 days.
