    In this week’s Boots In The Field Report, Ken Ferrie talks about ponding and nutrient deficiencies as well as insect, disease, and weed scouting reports. He advises what to be on the lookout for during pollination and warns that how fields looked during the water stress will be how they pollinate. Ken shares that he expects the round robin crop report at both the CTC Field Day and Farm Journal Corn and Soybean College to be very interesting this year.
