Danee Helvey Ellsworth, KS	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Mar 22, 2011 I had a bad experience with DeKalb corn seed in 2010. We had 4 other varieties of corn in the same field. The DeKalb seed was the only one that had a very bad stand. It was eaten by cut worms. The DeKalb reps gave me the run around. They said they were going to give me a small amount of replacement seed for 2011 and pay for half of the seed purchsed in 2010. They have not done either. I will never buy anything from DeKalb again.

cropadvisor01 United States	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Jan 23, 2012 There are certain pests & diseases that affect corn no matter what brand is on the seed bag. If the other brands offered a trait that protected against bcw then its no surprise the Dekalb was affected. Growers need to surround themselves with professionals they can trust that offer services that bring value, but with crops taking such a large investment, ultimately growers need to take responsibility in scouting & making sure their crop will perform to its maximum level

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Aries

Take care today Aries, because the emotional landscape in your neighborhood will be full of pitfalls during the coming fortnight, as it has been since the Solar Eclipse on May 20. The more convinced you are that you're right, the harder it will be to navigate your way around forthcoming events. If you feel resentful of someone, perhaps a neighbor or sibling, you need to get your feelings out in the open, rather than burying them deeper, where they'll fester and lead to more problems in the long run.
