Log of the agronomic activities on the GLBRC sites. See here for an interactive version
This datatable is part of the Agronomic Log Queries - GLBRC Biofuel Cropping System Experiment dataset.
It contains specific queries of agronomic activities carried out on the Biofuel Cropping System Experiment, prepared from the Agronomic Log. The Agronomic Log contains all agromonic activities for multiple experiments. Contact the GLBRC Sustainability Information Manager if you need additional information from the aglog.

| 2024-10-21 | KBS | Corn Stover Harvest: Jarrod Rhoades mowed corn stover in G1 main plots: Reps 5, 4, 3, 2, & 1. Corn stover was mowed into windrows so that they could be bailed. The 6 rows (15 ft) in the west micro-plots of each rep were not mowed. Equipment Used: JD 7420a tractor and Loftness 15 ft Draper Windrower Shredder. Joe Simmons bailed corn stover with Krone 1270 square baler. Reps 5, 4, 3, 2, & 1. Equipment Used: JD 7520 tractor with Krone 1270 square baler. Ethan Rocklin and Jarrod Rhoades removed bales from plots: Equipment Used: JD 7420(b) tractor (with loader) was used to move/load bales. Equipment Used: Dodge truck and gooseneck trailer were used to move and weigh bales. Portable scale was put on the rear of gooseneck and bales were place on scale to obtain weight. Bales were used as hunting blinds in the BCSE site. |
| 2024-10-21 | KBS | Harvested corn grain in the GLBRC G1 plots, reps: 5, 4, 3, 2, & 1, and bait crop area. Harvested with JD S660 combine. Entire plot weight was determined by unloading corn from the combine to a Brent Weigh Wagon, by Unverferth Co. Number of corn rows harvested from each plot were counted and recorded to determine total area harvested. Each plot had 24 rows of corn harvested has the main plot harvest data. Six row (micro-plots) on each side of each plot were harvested with the Kincaid plot combine and was NOT included in the total plot weight (these six rows are recorded as micro-plot yield data). Moisture and test weights were determined using grain analysis moisture tester. Moisture and test weights were determined using a Dicky-john GAC2100b grain analysis moisture tester. |
| 2024-10-17 | KBS | Harvested soybeans in G3 plots, reps: 5, 3, 2, 1, and 4. Harvested with JD S660 Combine. Soybeans from each plot were weighed in the Brent Weigh Wagon. Grain sample was collected from each replication. Each replication was weighed independently. Data recorded from each of the independent grain samples collected: weight, moisture, and test weight. |
| 2024-10-15 | KBS | Corn Micro-plot harvest. Harvested GLBRC G1 corn from the micro-plot area, all reps, (plus corn stover, and minus corn stover micro plots)(west and east side of all plots). Harvested with the Kincaid plot combine. For each micro-plot all six rows were harvested (the six rows on the west and east side of each plot were harvested). The middle two rows of the six row micro-plot area were sampled and tested for moisture with Dickey John grain tester. Plot weight and moisture were obtained from the on-board Mirus Harvest Master computer/software weighing system. |
