@ckleene Bought an old one, blasted it, painted it, and use it at our local county fair. We’ve had to replace the nets every year from the heavy use. They work great!
Great SxS demo of ground rig vs drone on the same field and variety. Looking forward to seeing the results on disease control and yields this fall! 2gpa vs 15gpa. @PioneerSeeds
How much are we losing? Graphic shows yield loss in killing frost at "dent" stages. Won't lose all of this if don't make it to Sunday, a large chunk could be realized in rapid death Ex 1/4 milk line (R5.25) has 25-35% loss may b possible 2 lose half, 12-17% in extreme situations
Pre Pro Farmer Tour w/Pioneer: This week Pioneer reps will b out in customers fields ahead of Pro Farmer Tour 2 capture data points 2 share w/customers. Take your own & complete the data sheet w/ pic of sheet/ears/field & u will be entered for a chance on 2 bags of seed for 2024!
As fungicide apps get going next week, b sure 2 check water pH & lowered if necessary. Chart below shows how pH can DRASTICALLY impact the half life. pH of 7shows if the solution is in a tank for 3 hours, you have half the AI left when you mixed it!!

“ Will that @PioneerSeeds that I planted in April 12th 2023 be ok? It got pretty 🥶 over the weekend!”
Yes! I took 4 hybrids and exhumed seedlings that had barely sprouted from a 4-12 planted plot and some leftover from the bag and did a warm germ test. Good so far!
@KevinDeDonder@micksterbrau Not as organized on data. Participated in this study in 2016 with P1151AM. Similar results every year since we started testing.
Phantom Yield Loss Study update. Over 5 years, with 34 weighed comparisons, on 18 different hybrids, both irrigated and dryland, with yield ranging from 154 b/ac up to 290 b/ac
AVERAGE PHANTOM YIELD LOSS = 2.39 bushels / point.
Due to the high input prices, there’s a lot of talk out there about fertility. What do we need? What can we cut? One of the most important factors to remember is pH. We can make our fertility go further in 2022 by having the proper pH. #Agronomy
Just filled the truck with E15 (88 blend) for $0.35/gallon less than E10. That's $8.00 on one tank fill. Yet, E15 is offered at less than 20% of pumps in Iowa. We need to do better for consumers, farmers & the environment. Let's sell more biofuels! #ialegis
Mike’s Hybrid Minute: Introducing the new P9823Q, a new 98 day that has the top-end yield for your best ground and tolerance for high pH soils. @PioneerSeeds #qromeshines
