Corn down 30-60 from very good 2025 yields. Soybeans about steady

This field had a tremendous rye cover crop stand. Unfortunately it wasn’t able to be planted until June 2 due to a wet spring. It was clean as a whistle so I decided to try something new: Roll the rye, wait to spray. Roundup/liberty on July 7. Clean as can be. I’m impressed!

@Grain_Cycles @BrianElsasser2 @grok can you create a precipitation map for Iowa, Illinois and Indiana for June 2026. Show gradient by inches of precipitation with red being the highest and list the number of inches by color. List all major towns on the map

[Tony Stierwalt @TStierwalt21]

Thank you @ShaffInc for being the only local company open for parts or service today, you guys kept us rolling. It’s a Saturday in October. Gut slot corn harvest. Makes sense for everyone else to be closed.

@Srm67 @Grain_Cycles @BrianElsasser2 @UNass52675 We also think corn leaf aphids played a roll in yield reduction even when sprayed. Either too late or a too low of a rate of cheap insecticide. Also found corn hybrids that were more susceptible or attractive to aphids. Also in some cases rootless corn caused delays in some hyb.

[Daniel Schaefer @DschaeferDaniel]

@Srm67 @Grain_Cycles @BrianElsasser2 @UNass52675 Central Illinois seems down on corn yield and the amount down maybe tied to planting the wrong corn hybrid this year. 20-40 bushel swings between hybrids. And then there is the yield loss in the low places in the fields even with full population and not due to long term ponding

@FoulkShay The guidelines for applying fall NH3 would suggest it’s not the right time to be applying. Soil temp is not at 50 degrees and trending downward. For the next 10 days. Early applied NH3 in 2025 was half nitrate by mid December.

@DschaeferDaniel Years ago a company needed one for plot work. Shipped the production model Massey from Europe to Kincaid, had everything done to make it an XP plot combine and it was $440,000 delivered to them. We have access to one local if we were smart enough to run it 😂
