Distressing sight this afternoon. Nearly all of the 1579 and the end of the main on the 748 started drooping. Its just in the upper 70;s, so it shouldn't be heat. The neighbor's sprayed a patch of Canada thistles a week ago and mowed them off yesterday, along with a patch that had not been sprayed. I don't know if they sprayed with the mower. Some farmers rig up a sprayer under a rotary mower just for thistles. Or maybe the mower just got some spray airborne? Ur maybe its something else. Last evening when I sprayed Afri Fos, Companion, and humic/fulvic, some late planted sunflowers were all wilted. Today they are all OK, so maybe the pumpkins will pull through. Those plants are the closest to walnut trees, but that has never bothered anything in the past. Every year its some new problem.
