A few irrigation recs going around that shorter season corn is done for the year. You can not determine a fields irrigation needs simply by maturity. There are 120 day hybrids farther along than 110 day hybrids. Planting and emergence dates make a huge difference.

Don’t waste these 4 bean pods and give them one more drink.

Don’t over estimate the starch line. Another 2 weeks of grain fill for sure on this ear and more watering.

Don’t get in to big of a hurry to call it a year. Seeds need water to pack on the weight.

That time of year when the rubber tuxedo is a necessity. #cropscouting
Last rain was not widespread. Some farmers in the area may need to irrigate later this week, but don’t be over zealous. Too much water will saturate profile, which will leach precious nutrients, push herbicide below weed germination zone, and slow microbial activity.

Tomorrow this corn field will look like it froze. 40 mph winds sand blasting the leaves. Worked soybean residue with no significant rain. If herbicide was applied it is all in the ditch. Grass roadside catching some soil.

Top inch of soil is baked dry, meaning herbicide not in solution for root absorption by weeds. Corn and bean seeds may be in moisture, but rain or irrigation is necessary if herbicides have been applied to keep fields weed free.

Effective weed control overlaps residuals. At least 2 trips over the field. Dicamba, glyphosate, and glufosinate are not residuals.

Norder Supply Agronomists recommend that farmers avoid planting until weather conditions improve. Soil temperatures are in the low 40’s and falling with the below freezing temperatures overnight. It will take a few warm, sunny days to get soil temperatures back up.
