Crops looking pretty good for Reinfeld area farmer

Reinfeld area farmer Jack Froese says his crops are looking pretty decent with the rain that we've had this year.

He commented on the corn crop.

"We had a three inch rain across most of our corn here a little better than two weeks ago. So we had a little bit of an issue there and then we had some blowing earlier in the year but it's coming around really nicely. It's looking very good."

Froese notes there also were some challenges with canola earlier in the season.

"We had some crusting and some flea beetles and a little bit of blowing earlier on so we actually reseeded a thousand acres, but it is coming along real nice now. It's starting to cabbage. The earlier stuff is starting to bloom. It's starting to come around."

He says the soybeans look really good and are starting to flower, adding they have been spraying for grasshoppers in the soybeans.

Fungicide application has been completed on the wheat.

Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
