I write an article about the lack of evidence behind using Brix for insect pest management.
Regional farmer-led no-till organization: Let's offer a full day training on using Brix for insect pest management.

Doing a field we did a split planter of seed. Two major players, one fell on its face.
Let’s say the good one is one everyone was so concerned about tassel wrap on. Tassel wrap is nothing compared to tar spot on the other hybrid.

This is such hogwash.
If soils were depleted of nutrients, yields would be falling. They aren't. I am not sure where this commonly-held idea comes from but my guess is that it's from regenerative ag's pop ecology notion that soils should be able to supply all the nutrients crops need without fertilizer inputs.
No wonder the public thinks badly of ag; they are fed these lies from sources that should be trustworthy but aren't.

Centric is labeled for PMB.
Recommendation of 2.5 oz plus
1 pt MSO per acre. Don't spray red or dead plants, mow it or graze it.
Regrowth or actively growing green leaves are necessary for a Foliar Spray to work with this product. But it works when applied correctly.

This is from a pivotrac rain guage right east of White Deer. That’s 4.05” since August 2025. In terms of rainfall I’m not sure I can think of a worse 12 month span.

If you are seeing these in your cotton.
they are NOT PASTURE MEALYBUG. DO NOT SPRAY. These are good bugs, no need for chemical warfare.
This is the Scymninae family of Ladybeetles, called Diomus terminatus. The early instars look like PMB bc of white coating. The last larval instar for looks like the second image (brown larva). The third photo is an adult. Those larva will eat 30-50 aphids a day. Adults do not feed nearly as much since they are trying to reproduce.

Treated vs untreated
What miracle unicorn piss is this you ask
It’s not, it’s the same row same hybrid all 3 plants within 50 feet of each other. That’s why 2-3 plant pictures of your products are useless.

Pivot Bio has raised $697M of venture capital. Compare their results vs a guy in a tie-dyed shirt, shorts and sandals who gets off on slope curve math and gives the recipe away for free.
I think we’re going to flirt with $1500/ac in this field with $200 in inputs.
Agronomy’s next dimension is how we make crops play nice with one another.
The wheat manages spring moisture like living pattern tile to allow earlier more fit planting, weed control.
The soybeans grow well with a disciplined 80/20 wheat crop. The space allows for equity accrual
80-90 days gets us to 12-14 nodes with young pods at wheat harvest
Harvest opens up sunlight for the beans acting like a turbo on a diesel engine… and the wheat also acts as a trellis to support expansive branching.
Year #11 and we’re always learning… lots of people trying this out and making it work on their operation. If this is of interest come to my farm this Saturday and walk the fields yourself

Watching Jeremy Clarkson go through the phases of anger, sadness, depression and joy of farming is really something to watch. Something we all go through in the farming world.
