It is that time of year again. Rice is heading and our thoughts are turning to harvest. As we have been doing since 2015, we will be running the UCCE Rice Yield Contest. We continue to learn a lot from this contest which we share with all of you. This week we picked up the prize for the winner.
Driving this week, I saw quite a few fields with heads starting to show up so drain time is around the corner. Earlier than normal planting and a warm early season means that the crop is going to be harvested earlier than normal.
The armyworm monitoring network started a few weeks ago. We have traps on 15 sites across the Sacramento Valley and three sites in the northern San Joaquin Valley.
