    It ain’t just you bo.

    This year is brutal.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    Good copy Quack and GMAC, duly noted. Only crop I fear is rice before we shoot the water to it. Knock on wood, army worms haven't hit it yet. Sorghum, millet, beans get hammered on random years.

    Prevathon is about the best and has residual for 20-25 days depending on rain fall.

    Bifethren is a contact killer with no residual. Lot of cases where army worms grew resistance to the chemical. They are seeing some worms become resistant to prevathon around the large vegetable growers.
