Comment:
Planted corn in the Main Site LTER T3 reps 1, 3, and 6. Because of wet soil conditions we could not plant reps 1, 3, and 6 on May 19-20, 2017 which is the dates reps 2, 4, and 5 were planted. Started to rain as I finished planting rep 6, it would have been to wet to start planting another replication on May 24, 2017 so glad that all the remaining reps were planted. Equipment used: Planted with JD 7330 tractor and JD 1730 planter. Planted Dekalb DKC52-84 RIB seed corn at 32,000 seeds/acre.
