Many farmers think the SCN problem is licked (with resistant soybeans). I would think it's licked, too, if I didn't see the high samples come in.

We asked how long they had been planting resistant soybean varieties, and we found that 85 to 92 percent of producers currently plant SCN-resistant beans. Producers are losing yield, but they're not attributing the loss to SCN because they are growing resistant beans and don't think they have a problem.

I guess I licked my wounds, so to speak.

The chief problem of low-income farmers is poverty.

If you have a problem field, a $15 SCN egg count can buy a lot of peace of mind.

I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and sword in my hands.
