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!

Big things are happening, and because I took off last week for the county fair, I decided to do a "Special Edition" of the weekly podcast today to catch you up on what I was getting calls on last week.Physoderma Brown Spot, Spider Mites, and Southern Rust are all showing up. Listen today to get the latest on all three, including a special guest to tell us more about Southern Rust, now in the area.

Curious about where we are for heat unit accumulation? Interested in what I am seeing in my agronomy travels this past week? Want to know more about “tasse wrap” and “corn sweat”? If so, enjoy the listen in this week's podcast.

In this week’s podcast, I share our current heat unit accumulation, talk about a unique phenomenon found this past week called “Green Kink,” update you on our Tar Spot progress, and also discuss our latest insect find; true armyworm. Plus, we hear from a special guest to get an update on overall crop progress in Northern Indiana and Ohio.

In this episode, get your weekly heat unit accumulation update, learn about tar spot management now that it is confirmed in Michigan and Indiana, discuss ear mold management timing, and did you know, Spider Mites are here! Learn how to identify and manage this yield robbing soybean pest.

Temperatures have moderated a little out there this week, but did we catch up on heat unit accumulation? I also had an interesting service call this past week in my travels across Michigan and Northern Ohio. Take a listen to learn what happened.

Did we finally catch up on heat units this week? Want to know what 2 different soybean issues I saw this past week in my travels and what to do about them to increase yields this year, and into the future? If so, take a listen to this week's episode.

It’s been a hot one out there this week, so let’s get an update on heat unit accumulation, talk about how this heat is affecting our growing crop in reference to the concept of Leibig’s Barrel, and lightning bugs were spotted earlier this week, so let’s discuss what’s going on in our corn fields based on this observation.

For this week’s podcast, I’ll update you on heat unit accumulation, talk about all the interesting colors I've been seeing in our corn crop lately, discuss "rolling" soybeans, and talk about what to expect in your field walks next week with the high heat coming at us this weekend. Enjoy!
