You get what you pay for. This is a free newsletter. Here is the first issue for 2009. It is still a bit too cold and the day lengths too short for pessimism to be attractive. At this point, I can still forecast record yields and profits for SW MN fields in 2009. I hope this attitude can continue. Unfortunately pessimism, cynicism and sarcasm usually arrive with the first weather or equipment caused planting delay of the spring. It's not to early to start thinking about soybean aphids. *It is way too early to worrying about them though.* The link contains a soybean aphid insecticide trial. The data does manage to illustrate some of the concepts in aphid management with respect to timing and residual control that we have been talking about the past few years. It is long-winded but it does have an abstract of sorts and pictures for the speed readers. *Extension meetings you may be interested in.* There are several meetings coming up in the near future. Barriers to bushels will be held at several locations: February 25 in Dawson, February 27 in Benson, March 3 in Fergus Falls and March 5 in Marshall. Details can be found at http://swroc.cfans.umn.edu/upcoming/2009/bartobushels.pdf. Winter crops day events will be held in Pipestone on February 24 and Fairmont on March 3.
