Alex Johnson, Sales/Agronomist at LG Seeds says after a challenging 2012, he’s looking forward to 2013 and when it comes the some new products that will be available, he’s even more excited. With 65 percent of their production fields under irrigation, Johnson says supplies shouldn’t be a concern. The LG Seeds Sales/Agronomist is also excited about the performance LG Seeds has seen so far this fall and how well they’ve done compared to the competition.

From what’s he’s seeing, Alex Johnson, State Agronomist for LG Seeds in Ohio is encouraging farmers to be scouting fields at least twice weekly.
“Look at your fields for black cutworm damage, also in bean fields, look for marestail,” said Johnson. “I’ve seen many fields with four to six inch marestail which gets very hard to control as a post application, and lastly look for bean leaf beetle, feeding at 40 percent or more defoliation could mean a pesticide application is warranted.”
Johnson adds that other than those areas that received excessive rain, the corn crop in Ohio overall is looking good.
