Dr. Dan Quinn from Purdue University and Field Extension Specialist Angie Rieck-Hinz from Iowa State University gave us key learnings from their 2023 growing seasons. 

There is a ton of great insight in this short podcast!  

Never stop learning, keep the faith, red crown rot, Purdue Basketball!  D3 drought, Fertility, Potassium, Sulfur, and more! 

Enjoy and thanks for learning with us! 

Drought, Corn Root Worm, Extended Diapause, Dectes Stem Bore, and more... Oh my!  Join Dr. Nick Seiter, University of Illinois, and Dr. Ignacio Ciampitti for great insights from the 2023 challenging growing season and key takeaways as we plan for 2024!

A double dose of Nebraska!  In his year-end review, Nathan Mueller discusses drought conditions, tar spot, gall midge, hybrids, maturity selections in corn and soybeans, and more!  We welcome John Fech as our first arborist on the show!  John talks about the impact of drought on turf and trees and gives us insight into how vital soil conditions are in challenging weather.  

Meaghan discusses tarpot, soybeans, chemical stewardship, and other key takeaways from Iowa in 2023!  Wayne weighs in on tarpot in Missouri, soybean gall midge, and other learnings from the past growing season! 

How we manage our soybeans significantly impacts yield potential and can dramatically affect the complex diseases we face!  Join us as we discuss working with the Diaporthe Complex with one of the industry's leading professionals, Dr. Febina Mathew, from North Dakota State University! 

The Diaporthe complex is... extremely complex!  Join Dr. Febina Mathew as we discuss the science behind this disease family.  We cover stem canker, Diaporthe seed decay (Phomopsis), and pod and stem blight. 

Dr. Mark Westgate discusses corn physiology and the effects of heat and drought stress on yield and plant resiliency. Dr. Westgate also discusses critical considerations as we consider plant partitioning and how to manage for the highest results on our own farms! 

Join us as we discuss soybean physiology with Dr. Mark Westgate!  We will discuss the unique characteristics of a C3 soybean plant.  Management considerations and the impact heat and drought have on soybean growth and reproductive development. 

Dr. Ignacio Ciampitti discusses the essential considerations for managing nitrogen in corn and soybeans.  We gain critical insight into the amount of nitrogen we need, methods of applications, and pressing concerns around variability in soil types.  Dr. Ciampitti also discusses nitrogen efficiency, considering the weather over the past few years!

Nitrogen is a foundational building block for our corn and soybeans.  Dr. Ignacio takes us on a deep dive into the science of why nitrogen is essential, the forms widely available, and how this critical component of fertility interacts with our soil and plants!
