Currently producers are in all stages of early season crop production. Many are either trying to establish the first stand of cotton, grain, or possibly another crop altogether. While others are working on reestablishing a crop stand lost to weather. In some instances, weeds and thrips have been the priority on some lists. I will say that while we have h u midity from those rains last week, we should take advantage of Glufosinate (Liberty) herbicide. Along those same lines I would include a residual preemerge herbicide and check and see what the thrips situation is in case you need to include acephate.
