There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year he won the prize for the best corn grown. One year, a reporter interviewed him and discovered something interesting about the way he grew corn. The reporter discovered that the farmer shares his seeds with his neighbors. "Why does he share his best seeds with his neighbors if every year they compete with his own?" the reporter asked him.
"Why, sir?" the farmer replied, "didn't you know? The wind picks up the pollen from the ripe corn and swirls it from one field to another. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will constantly degrade the quality of my corn. If I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."
The same is true of our lives. Those who want to live good and meaningful lives must help enrich the lives of others, because the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches, and those who choose to be happy must help others find happiness, because the well-being of each is linked to the well-being of all.

Pioneer brand corn protects your fields against Tar Spot. See for yourself: the green rows are Pioneer corn products with tar spot tolerance and the brown rows are the competitors. Pioneer: Tar 🛑s here.

@dom_lucre This music is an automatic disqualify for me. It adds nothing, covers up the real audio.

Pivot Bio probably want be sponsoring the NFR after all the universities published their data this week.

In agriculture it pays to be skeptical.

@rpethe Scouting relies on experience, knowing the enemy (yield/quality loss), uncovering the common places for them to hide. Recommending a plan of attack. Sometimes scouting is routine, sometimes it’s mission critical.

@brandon_ag24 Congrats big dawg! Enjoy every day!

Do you traditionally use the yield monitor to weigh plots on your farm?

If so, STOP

Yesterday, we weighed a plot and compared to the YieldSense in the cab. While the total field avg had 0.5% error the hybrid/hybrid difference was quite larger.

See the data below

Here are two images comparing crop health from granular and drone deploy after very wet week. Obviously the one from granular isn’t as clear but both maps are showing the same thing and I feel have their place. Giving the drone deploy map to tile contractor and saying fix this.

Curious about the tool @PioneerSeeds agronomists like my self are using for stand counts? This tool by @DroneDeploy powered by @CortevaUS analytics helps us make plans and better understand what went on so there's no surprises at harvest! #Agronomy
