@robcarpenter @NHTSAgov Turning left in a machine like that is dangerous. Always got to be on high alert

@Dusty3080467325 @LineRed8039 Great hybrids before fungicide use became a thing. Spray them once or twice now, might be awesome.

@74Booger Between 185-235. Kernel weight/depth is king.

Corn yields in Illinois on #pftour25 averaged 199.57 bu/acre, down slightly on the year but a bit above the three-year average.

Pod counts for soybeans were a tour record for Illinois at 1479.22 per 3x3' plot, up nearly 13% on the three-year tour average.

@Gibbsfield4430 We straight price multiple brands on same bill for mid January pay. Price/unit includes all discounts. So it can be. Ease of reading bill for customer. Started this format several years ago and have had very few complaints

[Donnie Benoit @dtbmali]

@Storm5farms Exactly….Purchased the exact same set plus the metric set 2 days ago after struggling with the wrong tools. Probably will never need them now.

@ksufearless Always a fun corn farmer topic to read the comments to see the lack of understanding.

New 106 Day A636-42SSP designed for heavy CRW environments reaching maturity here. Moderate stature, consistent girthy ears with nice grain quality. Excellent versatility across all soils and environments with sound agronomics! @AgriGold

@kyledecorte What was your fungicide?

[Pioneer Troy @deutmeyer_troy]

While most of the fungicide applications are finished... here is the latest Corteva Disease Prediction Model..

If you’re in East Central IL and have DKC114-99 VT4P planted, get out and scout. We have identified that it seems to be a corn aphid magnet. 30-60% of plants are covered.

@lawrence_farms Lots of blood, sweat, and tears for sure.

@HardWayFarmer @gavin_spoor Yes, Travis 2 box skid

[Donnie Benoit @dtbmali]

@LawtonFarms @gavin_spoor Plenty of reach with telescoping spout but have to move once to hit all boxes on a 40’ planter

Great side x side that @Farmer_At_Heart Ernest shared with me. This was our BaseLine RX recommendations vs grower standard. Bold statement but Variable rate soybeans pays better than variable rate corn, this has been consistent over the past 3-4 years. Ave gain of +$100 an acre

Forget all the police suspect chase scenes you know.

I visited the new Precision Planting facility in Morton today, which opens in the fall. This new location will bring hundreds of jobs to the area while supporting Illinois agriculture, the #1 industry in our state. I appreciate all of the innovative work Precision Planting does to support Illinois farmers!

Finds for the week in Southeast Iowa: ears starting to hang in stressed areas after this week’s heat, widespread Anthracnose Top Dieback and stalk rot, and still some very impressive corn after this year’s trying growing season.

[Donnie Benoit @dtbmali]

@Swtcorn91 Corn will be up limit today
