==============================EVENTS TABLE================================
1. 280 DD after biofix 0.9-germination: shoot breaks through soil
2. 340 DD after biofix 1.1-1st true leaves unfolded
3. 440 DD after biofix 1.4-4th true leaves unfolded
4. 1590 DD after biofix 5.1-flower buds just visible (look inside axillary buds)
5. 1910 DD after biofix 6.1-10% of flowers visible
6. 2220 DD after biofix 7.1-10% of pods are solid to touch
7. 2600 DD after biofix 8.3-Lower 1/3 of pods yellow-brown and rattle when shaken, Upper pods still green
8. 2880 DD after biofix 9.2-Thresh when seed tests 18% moisture or lower. Over dry (8-10%) are hard and difficult to bite. 14% for safe storage
