JACKPOT
Benefits of Use:
- Promotes sizing and maturity of crops
- Enhances the movement of carbohydrates and proteins from leaves, stems, and roots to the harvested portion of the crop
- Improves quality, shipability, and shelf life of produce
Jackpot® applied with Calcium has the following benefits in crops:
- COTTON: Aids fiber maturity, allowing bolls to open naturally; promotes fiber strength and quality; “finishes” filling out the top crop; and “sets-up” crop for proper defoliation
- POTATOES: Promotes tuber sizing, enhances skin setting and “netting,” improves quality for better shipping and storage, and prepares tubers for harvest without “killing”
- SUGAR BEETS: Enhances sugar content and prepares crop for top removal and harvest
- PEANUTS: Improves quality and grade as well as promotes nut-fill

How many kernel rows, or rounds, will an ear of corn have? That’s being determined right now in my cornfield. My corn has hit the critical V6 growth stage (in just 31 days, no less). Next to emergence and pollination, V6 is one of the most significant times of the plant’s life. This is when the
Nothing in Farming Is Ever Easy
Circa late-1990s. I was sitting at Inness Farm Supply, a plate of BBQ on my lap, listening to the Monsanto rep carry on about the advantages of Roundup Ready Corn. After hearing all the benefits, I asked THE question. “Won’t this accelerate weed resistance?” She looked at me like she wanted to summon security. Then she emphatically assured the group that resistance was not a possibility. I just smiled and replied that nature always finds a way. It did. In 2000, resistant horseweed was discovered on the East Coast. Today, 18 weed species across 38 states are resistant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup.
Moving Closer to Farmers
Just as all politics are local, all farming is local. Terrain, soils, weather patterns, market access and cultural production practices vary dramatically across the Fruited Plain, as do the issues and concerns shaping ag policy. So it only makes sense for the entity that combines politics and farming to go local. Because in an urbanized city located on the banks of the Potomac, run by elephants and donkeys, you don’t see many cows, pigs or chickens, much less corn, wheat or almonds.
