South west MN hit the beginning of egg hatch this week, thankfully we’re not to the peak yet. Few more weeks before that battle begins. Great info here Tyler, like your map!
The $1 Billion dollar pest of the corn world, Corn Rootworm facts: Egg hatch begins after 380 GDD have accumulated (Jan 1 current year start) Peak egg hatch occurs between 684-767 GDD Start root examinations 10-14 days after peak hatch

Ooooo boy. NEW DKC56-26TRE may steal the show this fall in SW MN. Handled tough pollination and dry grain fill conditions like a champ. Watch for data this fall @Asgrow_DEKALB @DKAS_Minnesota

The name Qrome is a little misleading. When you see these root comparisons, there’s only one product that shines. It’s better to defend like a PRO. #SmartStaxPRO

If feeding corn rootworm is your goal, then by all means, get Qrome products. Otherwise, defend like a PRO with #SmartStaxPRO.

Short statue corn has proven time and time again that it can withstand major storms. This image is after a recent derecho at one of our test fields: our #shortcorn is standing tall surrounded by the broken stalks of traditional corn. https://t.co/Qzp53MQTF8

After two days of sunshine and heat, the corn is standing back up straight with just a little goose necking at the ground

This is what Minnesota farmers picture when they talk about their fields. “Man, rocks are really showing up this year” 😂

Weed size and species matter for your Post herbicide plan. Regardless of measuring device you use follow the label, be safe, and have fun. PREs are breaking in our area especially where we had those heavy rains. #Scout22 #Spray22 @DKAS_Minnesota

A new neighbor just stopped by to introduce himself. Retired gentleman, more experienced than I for sure. He said “you work for @Asgrow_DEKALB? If my dad had planted more DEKALB corn, we would still have a farm. Always the best corn we had” That’s why we do what we do.

Take a look at your soybean stands now after the frost, especially in no-till fields with heavy residue. If the cotyledons are both healthy and there are signs of growth from the axillary buds at the base of the unifoliates, the plant may survive as shown on the plant on right.
