Found one of the very few dry spots in the state of Illinois to put a @ChannelSeedNIL @ChannelSeed plot in Newark, Illinois thanks to Seed Pro Tom Mathre @KRodCropDoc !

Prioritize harvest for #corn fields with 10% or more rotted stalks.
If the stalk base is easily crushed when pinched or if plants easily break when pushed, stalk rot may be an issue.
Ask local #Extension for more information.

Silver leaf syndrome showing up in corn in West Lafayette, IN. Symptoms typically observed in leaves facing the sky and in dry/low humidity conditions where rapid heat loss may have occurred. Crop effects are negligible and no yield loss should be observed.

I am once again here to give you advice on #Plant23 this week.
My advice? Check the calendar. Understand soil temps are colder than we’d like. Plant some beans. – at Ames, IA

Here’s what the GDU forecast tells me about planting this week…
April 17th planting will emerge May 6-7 and takes on significant weather risk this week.
Planting April 24th will emerge May 8-9 and avoid all the weather this week.
IMO, I’d wait… #Plant23

Photo 1 shows emergence risk for a April 11 panting, which is either medium or high risk. Scheduled to emerge in 12 days on about April 22nd (photo 2)
Photo 3 shows risk of panting Monday next week (very low) but emergence will take longer, emerging May 2nd (photo 4)

Folks…
I said put the brakes on as we got towards the weekend, and now I am strongly recommending you PUT THE BRAKES ON.
3 days of mid-low thirties with rain forecasted over the weekend = leafing out underground/imbibitional chilling danger zone 🚨🚨🚨

Clean fields and big yields: A winning combination for Iowa farmers. See why #XtendFlex soybeans and the #RRXtend Crop System give farmers an advantage over the competition: bit.ly/3yTn7n0 teapawt.org/CropSystem/status/1582…
