As we get to the end of October, and the end of the 2025 growing season, this will be my FINAL PODCST OF THE YEAR. Listen to what I’m seeing in my travels across the area, and hear a review of the podcast topics we covered throughout 2025, as well as find out the final heat unit accumulation update for 2025.

With October half over, take a minute to listen to what I’m seeing in my travels across the area, and learn about ear molds that you too might just be finding this year in your own fields as you start to pull back those husks and evaluate your upcoming corn harvest. Plus, get the latest heat unit update in this week’s podcast.

In this week’s podcast, catch up on what I am seeing in my travels across the area, learn about “green stem” issues in soybeans and hear from TC Huffman, our Eastern Agronomy Manager, on fertility management going into next year. Plus, get caught up with our heat unit accumulation update.

Interested in finding out more about our Genetics by Environment by Management trials? Curious about what I am seeing for service calls for corn this week? Want a heat unit accumulation update? If so, be sure to listen to this week's podcast.

Interested in optimizing the harvest factors that help maximize soybean yields? Want to hear from our Enogen Specialist to get an update on how to make the best possible feed out of this year’s silage harvest? And, want to get a quick update on the latest heat unit accumulations? If so, don't miss this week's episode.

Listen this week to better understand why our soybeans are looking purple from the roadside and what’s going on with all those dead soybean plants sticking their heads up through the canopy all of a sudden this week. Plus, hear the heat unit accumulation update and hear what to be watching for next.

With the recent rains, let's answer the question on all our minds – was the recent rain helpful, or was it too little, too late? I also go in depth on Red Crown Rot, and give you the weekly heat unit update - it's not the same trend this week. Enjoy!

So, I'm seeing some yellow color in soybeans right now – is it disease such as SDS or Red Crown Rot, or natural maturing of the crop? With Southern Rust and Tar Spot, is it too late to spray a fungicide on my corn? These questions are answered this week, plus a heat unit update and some insights on my trip to Ireland last week. Enjoy!

So, has the heat and drought hurt yield? Do you know if you too have Sudden Death Syndrome in your soybeans? ...or could it be Brown Stem Rot? And, how far ahead are we really in heat units vs the 5 year average? Listen to this week's podcast to find out!
