Boy do I wish I had put something down at planting time!!! The rootworms are really bad this year in Central, Il. Almost everyone has some down corn.

I had my planting done by a buddy (since I can't yet afford a planter) and since I had some white grubs we did put Poncho 250 on...but that does nothing for rootworms.

Even some of the guys who did put down insecticide are having problems-they suspect windy days or long dry spell we had in April didn't get the stuff down where it needed to be.

Of course once you spot the beetles it is too late. :(

Lesson learned for next year for sure!!! I think I will look at Poncho 1250 from Gustafson or something similar-will see this fall what ends up working for those in our area.

Out of the loop for 20 years? Sounds like me 2 years ago. I have been documenting what I have learned so far in a "book"...probably only for my own edification. You can see the first couple chapters on my website. If you are thinking of getting back into farming and it is interesting to you I would be willing to send you a copy in exchange for a little constructive criticism.
