So, are we ahead or behind on Growing Degree Day accumulation for 2026? Listen and find out today. Also, catch up on the latest agronomy calls received this week, and what to do about the issues discussed.

I may be at the fair this week, but the podcast continues! Here how things went at the fair this week, and also hear from Daniel Lindquist about what was on the minds of farmers at this past week's AgroExpo.

In this week’s podcast, we’ll talk about:1. Area Update, including a pollination update and a reminder on spider mites, and2. Keys to Identifying Red Crown Rot in soybeans from our special guest, Mr. Reid Stoller.

On this week's podcast I will share what I found on a field call that was completely unexpected. It happened to be Soybean Cyst Nematodes & Sudden Death Syndrome. Let's dive into what caused them and how to manage them.

Check out this week's unscripted episode talking about the risks associated with this week's cooler weather, what to look out for next week with the droughty conditions across parts of the area and the why behind service calls that got me thinking this week.

Canadian wildfire smoke is back! What lessons did we learn about crop development from the last time this happened? Listen to this AIA "Special Edition" to learn more.

Today's Podcast focuses on How this heat & drought might affect successful pollination, and address the question of "fungicide timing" with the stress our crop is under right now. Enjoy!

This week on the podcast, let’s talk about:1. The risk of nitrogen denitrification in saturated, warm soils - especially if you just finished side-dressing.2. The "rainbow" of colors you might be seeing on your corn leaves this week, what those colors are telling us about nutrient deficiencies, and what we can actually do about it as this crop rapidly approaches tasseling.

It’s been a hot one this week! Temperatures in the 90’s and “feels like” temperatures in the 100’s, along with extremely high humidity levels has made this crop move right along, but has it also done some damage to the crop? We’ll talk about that in today’s podcast, and focus in on what diseases may be suppressed or may explode in both corn and soybean crops now and into next week.

On today’s episode, I’m going to discuss:1. The current crop condition across the mid-west from my travel observations, 2. Some of the excitement coming out of our National Sales Kick-Off meeting, and3. Share some lessons from photos and calls received this week.
