Alfalfa in My Beef Operation

I have had two failures seeding alfalfa in the past few years. Once I seeded into land that had been in no-till com only one year. I found that fescue came back into that stand of alfalfa and took it in several years. Another time I seeded alfalfa into land that had been in com for a few years but had not been seeded down properly. I thought I could no-till alfalfa in that piece of ground and there would not be too much competition. But I was wrong again. I realize that both times I could have come back with a Paraquat treatment of some sort and probably made those stands viable. But I didn\u27t do that. The reason I\u27m telling you about these two failures is because I\u27ve been seeding alfalfa using a John Deere Power-Till Seeder. Seeding only in land that has been in tobacco the previous year or two; or in land that has been in corn for at least two years. I plant corn no-till, using Paraquat, Atrazine, and/or Princep. It seems that having com in for only one year allows too much competition in alfalfa the following year. Two years of com seems to take care of that. When seeding in com, seed right in the stalks. I mow the stalks the previous fall, come back that spring, and no-till at the rate of 12-15 pounds of seed per acre. Sometimes it\u27s a little aggravating when you\u27re seeding. You\u27ve got to get off and clean the seeder out a little bit, but that\u27s the only trip over the field I use. I haven\u27t had a problem seeding alfalfa behind Atrazine or Princep regardless of what their labels warn of

Exploring How Emotional Intelligence Contributes to Virtual Teams: Interpretive Analysis of a Phenomenological Study

The use of virtual teams continues to rise due to various factors such as increased pressure from competing forces, globalization, the need for improved efficiency, and technological advances. Despite the various benefits associated with high performing virtual teams, these specialized groups also experience extremely high failure rates. The increased failure can come as a result of various challenges including a lack of knowledge-sharing, limited communication, team members who lack self-managed and virtual teaming experience, and social loafing. While increased challenges are prevalent during virtual teaming arrangements, there seems to be evidence supporting that virtual team performance can be improved when team members have higher emotional quotients. This paper explores the potential benefits of emotionally intelligent virtual team members to understand how those with higher emotional quotients can potentially improve project success. The research involved analyzing a phenomenological study that interviewed 31 self-managed virtual team members via electronic questionnaires and surveys. This study follows up the original empirical research with an interpretative analytical review of the phenomenological findings pertaining to emotional intelligence and virtual teams. A thorough discussion regarding the findings and recommendations are provided

Character Traits Of Effective Executives: A Phenomenological Study Of Ceos In Ghana

Leadership in organizations has been widely studied in the literature. However, scant research could be found exploring the critical personality characteristics business executives need to have in order to lead corporate organizations more effectively. This qualitative, phenomenological study was designed to investigate the lived experience of top-level business leaders in leadership roles. Ten Chief Executive Officers of Ghana Club 100 were interviewed and told their experience as leaders. The email and face-to-face interview transcripts were coded and analyzed for themes. The following personality attributes emerged from the study which were found to support and promote strong executive effectiveness: integrity, forward-looking, selfconfidence, emotional intelligence and maturity, and caring for others. The study significance provides information to Board of Directors of Ghanaian Corporations in the selection, promotion, and training of executive-level managers, and potentially lower the costs associated with losing highpotential executive leaders. The study findings could also help business schools and management consultants to focus better on preparing business leaders for the future. A major limitation of the study was the small sample size, which may require caution in generalizing the findings to the entire population. The current study is one of the first to be carried out in Ghana on leader personality traits
