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.

On today’s episode, I’m going to cover the following:1. The importance of June 21st, other than it being Father’s day,2. Why it matters to corn farmers that lightning bugs are starting to fly around, and 3. I’ve gotten a lot of pictures this week, so I’ll share some interesting stories of what’s going on in the fields across our area.

Today is June 12th, and it’s been a crazy weather week for us all across the area. Multiple strong storm fronts crossed the region, some causing downed trees and even some flooding in places, including our northern Ohio fields.On today’s episode, I’m going to cover:1. Observations from my travels this week.2. Watchouts and thoughts for next week.3. Guest host, Agronomist John Brien from Ohio to open the curtain and expose the difference between C3 and C4 plants and help us understand why this matters in corn and soybean development.

On today’s episode, I’m going to cover three topics:1. What I saw this week traveling to and from Iowa for agronomy training,2. Considerations for planting soybeans in June, and3. A few quick insights from that agronomy training, and what it means for you on your farm.
