Many farmers have been wondering whether or not the Canadian wildfire smoke is going to affect yields. Here’s a good article on the subject that concludes…. It depends.

The 2nd #WCR of the year was found a few minutes later by @nick_seiter. They’re back! Drought conditions are making their hungry presence evident! VT2P corn is suffering under high larval pressure, while our SmartStax Pro (#SSXPRO) is standing tall - just catching a few rays.
The potential for corn #rootworm larvae & adults to cause devastating damage warrants concern among #corn growers. However, by monitoring #CRW adults with sticky traps, growers can learn whether their 2023 populations are any reason to fear the CRW in 2024. #TheMoreYouKnow#IPM
Spring Wheat is looking good in North Central SD! Looking to maximize head development here with some Foliar Nutrient trials. @CHSRiverPlains @rhageman42@ATPNutritionLtd
Weather held out this morning to get the @CHSRiverPlains plot put in at Fairfax with the new @AllegiantSeed & @Asgrow_DEKALB Corn hybrids. Going to be an fun one to follow all season long. thanks for the help @CHS_KAS_Pierre
According to @ArlanFF101, the single biggest U.S. percentage corn planting gain in a week is 43% (2013).
To put that in perspective
USDA 2022 corn acreage estimate - 89.5M acres
- 43% would be 38.5M acres being planted in 7 days
- 5.5M acres each day
- 230K/hour
- 3,817/minute
