In the weeks leading up to harvest, growers may have some times to review their notes, or finalize their notes, on the season so far. Accurate notes on seeding date, rate, fertilizer, weather, pest observations, crop stand, in-crop actions (dates, rates, products) and more will be invaluable for winter planning and management decisions in future years.
Paper notebooks are handy and cheap but transferring notes to Excel spreadsheets or scouting software can make for easy reference and provide backup.
