Quick video on corn yield potential when planting late and the summer weather outlook for Dakotas and MN.

Didn't really expect to see in soybeans this year what I came across in this video but in this Answer Plot near Wahpeton it's showing up!

A quick video on corn pollination during drought.

Just a quick reminder and show a video on how and why we at @WinFieldUnited @CroplanWestern @JamieKlost make recommendations on fungicides.

If you had corn planted into dry soil check this out...it shows a time lapse of how much rain it takes to help ensure more uniform emergence.

Learn why early-planted soybeans have higher yield potential (even if same RM as later planted beans) and what signals to look for to plant soybeans early:

@2Langer @frettshill Not yet but it might be fun to try that out too. Thanks for the idea.

Check out this time lapse video showing the impact of 2 days of cold stress right after planting corn:

[Jamie Kloster @JamieKlost]

@mbcornfarmer I didn’t send in for those tests, the seed is what I scooped out of a bag a couple years ago and I will acknowledge vigor doesn’t improve with age so that could contribute to the differences but I still think it’s a valid visual demo of what something widely known to impact corn

[Jamie Kloster @JamieKlost]

@thekbaldwin In my experience, wheat seed seems to handle cold weather stress much better than corn seed. Although I can’t say how much better it handles it cause I haven’t researched wheat in this stress all that much.

[Jamie Kloster @JamieKlost]

@JasonSchley I have recently used the seed for other things with better consistency, the difference in this demo is I’m pressing the seeds against the plastic to be visible for video, the seed to soil contact is likely not equal between all the seeds and they might have imbibed water at rates

[Jamie Kloster @JamieKlost]

@CRNAfarmer @RocknRollAgrnmy I wondered the same thing...i have 2 thoughts on it: 1. I pressed the seed embryo against the plastic to try see the radical as it came out via time lapse so maybe that had an impact, 2. The seed I used was a couple years old and maybe there is a little bit of loss of vigor.

Just a neat visual showing how planting depth affects agronomics...interesting to see the it impacts greensnap.

See how testing done by @WinFieldUnited can improve your chances of success on fungicide applications in corn!

See how the "Wet Pants Test" can help determine if conditions are favorable for Soybean White Mold.

Does Hybrid matter when making side-dress decisions?
