3 ears of corn, milk, late blister and recently pollinated… probably 2 wks different in timing. Same field, same hybrid, same row: different water stress. Encouraged to see pollination stretch out and good pollination on 2, ok pollination on 1.
We updated our nitrogen fertilizer rate guidelines for Indiana to account for N fertilizer costs that continue to rise. Check it out before you apply N this season. @PurdueAgronomy@PurdueExtension@PurdueAg https://t.co/4QqGwgVfX9

With good corn prices many growers are applying fungicides to maximize yield. If you haven’t done so be advised that Southern Rust continues to move up in to the corn belt
Southern Rust is on the move! Here’s the map as of today and where it was a week ago. Weather patterns from the south are the driving force to move it up in to the Corn Belt.
Wheat harvest is in full swing in Southern Kentucky and West Tennessee ! Hearing some very good yields already. Now to get the double crop beans in the ground.
Another nice corn field in Central Mississippi. (And yes, I am standing up..6ft. I inch) This looks impressive but it’s only about 30% of the crop, the rest is all over the board on maturity stages.
