Starting to see SDS show up in late group 2 soybeans as they switch to R4. Some are treated with Saltro. Some in commercial fields and plots. I’m afraid it’s just just the beginning… @AgSwtP2 @Bean_Dork

I’ve seen it first hand multiple years in a row. Shiny new names don’t offer better protection, new traits offer better protection…against the pest and against resistance. #Bayer4IL #DefendLikeAPRO @AGDKC_ECIL
SmartStax PRO with RNAi Technology is going root-to-root in the fight against corn rootworm. 🄊 This is data you won’t want to miss. Follow @BayerTraits and #DefendLikeAPRO.

This crop is deteriorating quickly, just because you applied a fungicide doesn’t mean you have oak trees out there. Tar Spot is real! Our future management will change from here out!
Tar Spot ā€œadviceā€ from someone who experienced severe cases in 2018 - Watch your stalk strength this fall. Prioritize harvest field-by-field. With all the in-season stresses in our area this year, I wouldn’t leave anything out there too long. #TarSpot

Don’t sleep on this crop. I think it’s a lot drier than some may think. Phantom yield loss in corn and shatter in beans will pick your pocket.

#SDS starting to show up. Not surprising with the amount of moisture in ECIL and early planting soybean dates.

Having the meeting we never wanted to have. Lee Waters from @farmcredit discusses PP scenarios. He made a great comment, ā€œ Planting date doesn’t influence our final yield, it’s the weather after planting and fall.ā€ There’s still a lot of yield potential left. Go get it!

Here’s where we currently sit in IL for GDDs. ~ Half of CRW eggs are hatched by the 750 GDD mark so we’re not too far off in central IL. Saturated soils up until now haven’t caused mortality, but if the current wet trend continues I would expect populations to be reduced
