This has been a tough week for our #Midwest farmers dealing with the aftermath of #Derecho. Agronomist Matt Vandehaar shares a brief update on the estimated damage to date and some reminders on how to get through the rest of the season.

@CycloneATH @WideRtNattyLt My dad is a legend to begin with but this video raised his status. He’s a huge Cyclone fan and raised me to be one too. Please enjoy his reaction to the epic win today 🚨🌪

2019: The year the state of Iowa came together to force Nebraksa to play a game on FOX Business. That’s what I will remember most about today.

New yield estimation app is here, and it’s awesome. Give it a try! #harvest19
Last August, the Pioneer team was testing this cool, crazy accurate yield estimation app. Now it’s publicly available! Give it a try! @PioneerSeeds

So this was cool. @PioneerSeeds⁩ ⁦@CortevaUS⁩ #farmerfocused Had the opportunity to put not-yet-released ⁦@GranularAg⁩ tools in the hands of farmers to put them to the test. Incredible to watch the folks at Granular check their work w/the farmer. New tools 👌🏼

Had a ride-along capture our painted-lady herding today. Hoping they migrate so we don’t see a 3rd gen of thistle caterpillars. 2nd gen adults just started to get heavy today south of I-80 with some starting north of Hwy 30 as well. Expecting peak butterflies by this weekend.

Get out and #scout19 your late planted soybeans for defoliators in central Iowa. Thistle caterpillars having a heyday in some Dallas and Boone Co fields. 20% defoliation threshold at R1 or later! #ISUCrops @isuextboone @ISUExtDallasCo

What a difference #harvestdate, #fungicide app, and 2 weeks of rain made this fall! (4) harvested 9/27 w/fung= 89bu, (3) 9/27 no fung= 63bu, (2) 10/16 no fung= 49bu, (1) 10/16 w fung= 75bu. Not the most scientific but still interesting! Carroll co. Iowa

Hearing drastic differences in soybean damage grading by local coops. In Central Iowa, Bondurant has a Federal Grain Inspection lab that can run a damage sample for $8. Contact number is (515) 264-9288 if you would like a qualified grade on your sample.
