Crop Talk by IAS – Field Scouting Update | June 10

Field activity is picking back up across Iowa and Southwest Wisconsin as weather windows open and crops move into more rapid growth stages. What we’re seeing in the field right now is a mix of opportunity and pressure—post applications are rolling, but moisture, heat, and timing are all influencing performance.

In this episode, the team discusses:

• Post herbicide progress in corn and timing considerations for soybeans
• Field conditions and why checking wet spots still matters before spraying
• Pre herbicide performance and where residuals are starting to wear off
• Waterhemp pressure and the importance of controlling weeds early
• The “150 rule” and how heat + humidity affects spray applications
• Adjusting adjuvants and tank mixes to avoid crop injury in hot conditions
• Early nutrient deficiencies as crops enter rapid uptake stages
• Managing mid-season stress with fertility and micronutrient strategies
• Early conversations around fungicide timing and disease prevention
• Signs of heat and moisture stress, including leaf rolling and crop response

Conditions still vary field-by-field. Staying timely with scouting, adjusting to weather conditions, and making informed application decisions will be key as we move deeper into the season.
