Green Corn

Pictures showing the effects of manure application and apparently boat stirring of lagoon. Had same application rate with very little variance.  Finished bottom 4 1/2 Acres following morning, that would be picture showing mid way down the run looks like I turned on a light switch. Apparently what was in hose from night before ran me to that point and then the new for the day was way different. Field I did a month later across the driveway from same lagoon looks basically the same way even though rate on it was around 15000 GPA and ones in these pictures was 25000 GPA. Jammie and ag guys have been looking at and kind of stumped by the huge difference in appearance. He said that after walking and looking at yesterday lighter colored corn is good and at the same leaf stage and such. This is highly productive ground. They did pull some soil tests to run and see what they show. Thought you might like these pictures as they show such a distinct difference. Would expect strips to look like that if they were non applied, but not as distinct as these when all was injected. Think I am headed out now to get equipment around to do a big 250,000 gallon nursery job.
