Tech heavy focus for the Farm Progress Show this year. A lot of options for drones on display and several ways to help make applications more autonomous. What was your favorite part of the show? Our crew ranked the homemade pie and ice cream high. #FPS25

“This year truly is a mixed bag when it comes to the corn crop, from field to field you don’t know what you are going to find until you are out in it. “ Ken Ferrie in this week’s #BIFR

Appreciate the opportunity to serve some of the Nutrien team this week as we held a private Corn and Soybean College for them to dive deep into getting a good stand.

With all the pollination issues this summer, Ken advises scouting the fields and noting the reason for issues now when the cause is evident instead of being mystified by the lack of yield at harvest. #BIFR

In keeping with tradition, Corn and Soybean College week was a heater, but that didn’t stop attendees from going outside and getting hands on. If you missed it this year, we have the Virtual College on January 8th and have set the dates for next year’s Corn College 7/21-7/22.

Heavy cloud cover or haze can affect pollination. Continue to scout your pollination progress to keep a good handle on your yield estimates.

More than tight tassel wrap can be affecting your pollination this year, Ken talks how heavy fog can affect your pollination window.

Had questions yesterday at the field day, and more trickling in, on the podcast this week (starting at the 1:00 mark) Ken talks about what he has seen and what conditions can cause poor pollination like some growers are seeing.
Tar spot has now been confirmed in three more counties. Ken covers what the current weather means for disease pressure, pollination issues in corn, and the first sightings of winged aphids. This week’s Boots In The Field Report covers this and more!

In short corn it is still important to know the hybrid characteristics to make sure you are choosing the right one for your field environment. We will dive deeper into this at Corn and Soybean College.

Knowing whether a hybrid is upright or pendulum, broad leafed or narrow, tall or short can all be necessary information in placing that hybrid correctly. We will dive deeper into this at Corn and Soybean College.
