I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of Joe Aguzzi, a true pillar of Mississippi agriculture. A World War II veteran and lifelong farmer, Joe built a multigenerational legacy on his family’s Bolivar County land. He was a leader in our farming community – respected, generous, and deeply rooted in faith and tradition. It was an honor to recognize his remarkable life in the Congressional Record earlier this year. Joe Aguzzi’s impact on Mississippi and the Delta will endure through the land he loved and the generations he has inspired for years to come.

Deciding when to terminate #irrigation starts by estimating #corn maturity. We do this by evaluating kernel milk-line progress. Integrating crop maturity with soil moisture level allows us to better predict needs and greatly improve #ROI. 🌽#mscorn #MSUext #plant25 #mscrops

Worms & Corn Flea Beetles are making their move across the Midwest 👀 📸 Swipe to see the culprits causing chaos in conventional corn. ⚠️ Early feeding = clipped silks = pollination problems. 🦠 Flea beetles? Tiny but mighty — they can spread Stewart’s Wilt fast.

We need to have a long conversation about nematodes in MS. The first part of that conversation starts with “sample your soil to determine what’s present (species and # present)”. SOIL SAMPLES sent to @MSUextPlantLab ARE FREE through 3/31/2026 @MSSOY @changliunema #mscrops

Southern corn rust was found in 2 counties in SW Alabama. Orange to light brown tightly clustered oval pustules appear on the upper leaf surface. Spores within the pustules are orange as they rupture through the leaf surface. Rust can reduce yields #Rust #Corn @CropNetwork

Southern rust found earlier today by consultant in Bacon Co GA in a field not treated with fungicide. Fungicides may not be needed in every field in southern GA, however Ext agents and I cannot tell you exactly which fields those are. Southern rust can be a very serious problem.

Wow. We may see lots of Physoderma later this growing season. Corn at v4-v8 stage is particularly susceptible to infection.
The last 10 days have had a lot of precip in places in northern Iowa Map show precipitation totals from June 10 to June 20. Dark red is 8-10 inches. Thanks for the assist @JustinMGlisan. @GentrySorenson @TerryBasol

🎥Are your node counts lower than expected on your soybeans? It might be a result of slightly lower stands. #mscrops #MSUext (Justin Calhoun, MSU Extension soybean specialist) @MSSOY

1-P&K Management 2-Drainage 3-Seedbed Preparation If you do these at a top level, it accentuates everything else you do to make top yields, if you don’t it takes away from it.

#Corn growth may struggle when planted into green #covercrops. However, vegetation burndown can effectively counter such challenges, while optimizing early planting opportunities. The cover crop plot on the left was terminated 4 wks prior to planting. 🌽#mscorn #MSUext

Let's talk about Black Cutworm! Where: Corn plants in low laying areas with high weed pressure When: Larvae feed for about a month Implications: Damage in corn results in stand reduction to wilt and die, or cut the plant completely. Contact your CA to discover your options
