Planting is nearly wrapped up here in southeast Nebraska — most folks are 90 to 95 percent done. While the dry weather helped get crops in the ground on time, it also means we’ve jumped straight into irrigation season.

We caught some much-needed rain yesterday, and even though the ground’s still a little tacky, we’ll be back out planting and spraying before long. With that in mind, I wanted to talk about something I’ve had a few questions on this week: the importance of sprayer cleanout before switching between crops.
