If you're perception is that this year has been notable for significant hail frequency in the US, you're not wrong. Here is a quick comparison to last year up to today's date using preliminary reports (sig hail up 237% from last year, giant hail up 266%).

A farmer asked me was it better to deliver wet beans or dry beans to the elevator. This was our best shot at answering this question. Thanks J. Gaska for helping me think this through. I will now wait for an ag economist or grain marketer to tell me I did it wrong 😂

It’s hard to comprehend the scale of what goes into producing a new corn hybrid or soybean variety. This research field at a @Bayer4CropsUS North America Field Testing Operations site contains over 25,000 plots, only ~200 of which may eventually become new varieties.

The CDC recommends avoiding shallow tillage while fields are too wet prior to planting so your roots will grow downward

Check out the updated stripe rust map for Kansas. This past week there have been new reports of the disease at very low levels in several counties. In south central Kansas it is moving into the upper canopy and weather has been favorable. @KSUPlantDr @KSUWheat @KansasWheat

Someone..... (or someone’s dad) is 🤨 or 😤 about switching the planter over to beans right now... BUT... there could be yield ( & 💰) benefits to your farm for doing it

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler visited a Minnesota farm this afternoon. In a phone interview with @rrfn, Wheeler said the 2021 dicamba registration decision is expected in mid-October and the agency is trying to make things clearer and simple for farmers.
