Channel corn plot on rotated ground showing the advantages of VT4P with RNAi technology protecting the roots in moderate diapausing NCRW pressure. Seeing at least low levels in nearly every rotated corn field I walk in.

How inactive has the weather been in central IA from May 1st-today? This map shows the # of Severe Thunderstorm Warnings rank during that period from least active (1) to most active (22) over the past 22 years. Central IA is 4th lowest. That said, an active week is ahead! #iawx

The latest June outlooks from @NWSCPC indicate a lean toward warmer than normal and drier than normal conditions this month, overall. Of course there will be some thunderstorms at times, but at least for the next few days they will be decidedly "hit and miss". #iowaweather

Fearmonger Tweet: Young corn (less than V6) + above average temperatures + below average rainfall + dry soils = Challenging for successful root development... agry.purdue.edu/ext/corn/new… @PurdueAgronomy @PurdueAg @PurdueExtension
Rootless or Floppy Corn Syndrome

Rootless or Floppy Corn Syndrome

Dry surface soil + heat + young corn plants can result in death of initial nodal roots and ultimately lead to floppy corn

8 to 14 Day Outlook for June 5th to June 11th This week will be very warm with increasing afternoon humidity. After that, changes are expected. The outlook for June 5th to 11th calls for cooler temps (more near normal) & less chances for rainfall. #iawx

4 pm soil temp barely made it over 40 degrees today in SE MN. Soils are cold! 40 F rain tomorrow will not help much. Lots of fertilizer being applied today, fortunately no planters with soils this cold

Soil temperature (38 F) and forecasted GDD’s over the next two weeks don’t look promising for corn or soybean planting in southern MN. Add in precipitation (liquid and solid) this week means soils will remain cold and wet!

Thought about it but to cold for the person filling the planter

Closing the loop on this #tarspot field. Yesterday’s harvest showed a 35 bu/a difference between #Delaro treated and non treated strips (233 vs. 198 bu/a)
