"Why does this corn look so different?"
The answer was hiding in the soil.
Two corn plants. Same field. Very different growth.
The difference? Organic matter.
The best acre in your field shouldn't be managed the same as the toughest acre.

The @agrilytics S IN KY team worked together this AM to collect V6 plant samples on 19 hybrids. We’ll analyze early growth and plant mass for each product as impacted by mgt & environment. Our goal is to help customers place and manage products to reduce risk and increase yields.
🥶Frosted!
These beans were planted March 30 and were off to a good start before Monday morning’s frost.
Early planted soybeans can be successful, but there are certain practices that help reduce the risks that come with planting ultra early.
🧵
One of those practices is managing residue. Tillage or aggressive row cleaners to move all reaidue away from the soybean will help plants survive a frost after emergence. Heat from the soil gets trapped beneath the residue allowing the plant tissue to frost.
Seed corn maggot making their presence known. Fields were planted March 30-Apr2. Vertical tillage incorporated winter annuals and stalks right at seeding depth attracting flies to lay eggs. Beans were treated with Thiamethoxam or imidacloprid.
Spent a couple great days in Indy with the eastern corn belt @agrilytics team sharpening our skills.
4 beans/ft2 = 1 bushel/acre of harvest loss. moistures of 9-10% in the afternoon increases the risk of loss. 🔗 offers several tips to minimize losses, including:
-Keeping knife sections sharp
-Matching reel speed to ground speed
-adjust reel forward pioneer.com/us/agronomy/redu…

This week, our team from southern IN & KY had a productive meeting with Pioneer agronomists & territory managers. We dove into in-field observations, learning valuable insights about product performance this season. Stay tuned for more updates as we head toward harvest!
Anyone know of an app that will count kernels for you? @GranularAg and @PioneerSeeds used to have one, but it’s gone. Counting kernel rows and length on several ears gets tiresome and time consuming. #AgTwitter
According to this article, smoke and haze from 🔥reduces photosynthetic radiation ~3-11%. Cloudy days are ~20 less than a sunny day. Rainy day is 60% less. 💨 can also increase surface ozone levels which could damage soy leaves. pioneer.com/us/agronomy/wild…
