"There's a big push to plant early these days and maybe that's adding to the worry," said Stephanie Porter, in an interview with DTN/Progressive Farmer and Pam Smith. "But we're far from late. We have a few more weeks before that trend line of where we start losing bushels in this state," she
Region K special Olympics Spring event today at Hamelton Ccounty High School. 500 porkburgers and 400 hotdogs today. Great to be part of this outstanding event. Wabash Valley FS @illinoispork
Glufosinate is losing effectiveness on waterhemp—Illinois Soybean Association checkoff-funded research is uncovering potential stacked resistance and environmental factors behind the decline. fieldadvisor.org/illinois-resea…
Most people today take for granted or just don’t understand the amount of science, technology, innovation, precision, and efficiency that goes into growing and producing this plant. Sometimes it’s a good thing to stop and remember that. Purdue Agriculture Purdue Agronomy
Year two of Illinois Soybean Association checkoff-funded MRTN research is underway. Daniel Schaefer shares that high N rates are unnecessary for high yields. Read more on Field Advisor. fieldadvisor.org/research-confi…
Tough looking soybean fields from last week’s dust storm. Had to wipe the dust off the sign, dig through the wind blown soil and corn stalks, and play “Where’s the soybeans?” in many April #plant25 fields or #replant25 Purdue Agriculture Purdue Agronomy Purdue Extension Science for Success
Smoking 1500# of pork loins Friday. $25 @ loin. 4.5 to 5 pounds. All proceeds go to Veterans Food Bank of America. A few left check at local Wabash Valley FS Location for a loin ticket. This is cause near to my heart. Support our Veterans.
"Tassel wrap" showing up in WC Indiana (photos taken July 10), joining the party seen across much of the Midwest. Seems linked to hybrid, planting date, and pre-symptom temp swings. Potential pollination issues also observed ~10 days after symptoms. Purdue Agronomy Purdue Agriculture
Dan Quinn Purdue Agronomy Purdue Agriculture So is there not enough pollen exposed in what is outside the sheath to pollinate a complete ear? I thought at one time I was told there is enough pollen in one tassel to pollinate a 40 acre field.
Steve Fulling Purdue Agronomy Purdue Agriculture The problem is the timing of tassel emergence. Silks at the ear base emerge from the husk first and likely lost viability before tassel emergence and pollen drop. Hybrids today silk much earlier and often before tassel emergence.
Dan Quinn Steve Fulling Purdue Agronomy Purdue Agriculture What is the reason why some genetics have this characteristic of releasing the silks from the ear before pollen? In this 2ÂŞ corn crop in the north of Mato Grosso we also had this problem in pollination at the base of the ear
Juliano Diniz Steve Fulling Purdue Agronomy Purdue Agriculture Main reason I point to is it is improved drought tolerance in hybrids today as drought conditions can delay silk emergence. Many hybrids I work with today silk before tassel emergence and it is very noticeable in good growing conditions with adequate moisture.
Crop report from Byron Hendrix on July 23rd in Henry County: "Corn and soybeans have benefited from July rainfall. Both continue to progress quickly, with growing degree days maxing out. Various leaf diseases are present in corn, including gray leaf spot and northern corn leaf
