Not me. I literally wear a respirator and waders when I apply it. I know that I've said that before, and it probably made me look like a nancy, but I'm not taking chances with something that at one point was believed to have been a carcinogen. Perhaps it is in fact harmless. Either way, it isn't going to harm me because I'm cautious around it.

But I respectfully disagree with the humidity topic. I just can't see it causing that much of an impact. But I'm not horticulturist, nor am I a meteorologist.

This topic originally appeared in Washington post and USA today. If you google it you can read what some people think about it. They say the humidity rise could be as much as 7% higher than normal. They also go on to say that without the humidity and the corn sweat temps would be higher. Not the dew point but the actual temp. Not all of the humidity is due to corn they say. Much of it can be related to flooded fields from rain as well. For any of this to matter you need abnormally high temps to begin with in order to make the corn sweat which from my understanding, it has been unusually warm in the Midwest so far this season. If the temps were lower or on par with the average temps the evapotranspiration would be a lot less noticeable.

By the way. This was originally posted on USA today in 2016.. Not this year.

Cooperino, dude, you took a rediculous conversation and injected a little research article info.

Let it remain a nonsensical rambling!!

Kind of think he proved you wrong , anything you dont understand or dont want to accept is fouey ,
really just pointing out it is so freaking humid here , and likely going to get worse 93 heat index at night

And with you, anything you read on the internet....or in this case the Washington Post, or USA Today must be true. After all... those news sources never give false info, or have propaganda driven articles in them. I mean, I'm sure the study they talk about was backed by the USDA and American farmers.

Why don't you go do some research of your own.... maybe go to a farm and see some real cows up close. Plant some corn, harvest it, grind it and feed some cows. You have no clue.

I dont think my statement proved anything really. Neither did the articles a saw. I do like to try and educate myself on things like this however, for every article I saw that said this was happening there was of course another disproving it with some common sense. In fact they sort of lead to disproving their own theory right in the article. I think green4acres sees maybe the headline and the first paragraph or 2 and runs with it. I actually took the time to read four studies on the topic that stem about 4 pages each. My opinion from what I saw. Higher temps in the region cause the plant to sweat. That accounts for a slightly higher dew point. The rest comes from standing water.

Kind of makes me want to jump on a cub, don my straw hat & business suit and make a few few laps around the neighborhood singing like Mr. Douglas8!! Um, how does that song go now??......

Drives my zG'daughters nuts when I do that!
