We lose 750K each year to development. Very sad accounting

🌽In case you want to visualize just how epic U.S. corn exports have been lately...

Far above average shipments have been in progress for the last 12 months, lifting 2024/25 exports to new highs and boosting 2025/26 expectations even higher.

30- Day Percent of Normal Precipitation

1. If this is accurate, Ukrainian farmers have managed to plant 78% of last years acreage this year. What a heroic accomplishment in the midst of war. This also means that Ukraine's ag production in 2022 will not be down nearly as much as many feared, if weather is decent.

I'd say the crop has enough rain for a couple of days!

@DroughtCenter Monitor upgraded parts of northeast IL to extreme #drought (D3) in response to persistent dryness - exacerbated by June heat - and ag and ecosystem impacts thereof. Moderate and severe drought were both slightly expanded in northwest IL. #ilwx 1/2

Under Pressure! There’s significant evidence of water stress in my #UIUC research plots that is coincident w/ presence of #WCR larvae. When your corn looks like a field of pineapples, you may have feeding #rootworm larvae.

We will start the daily posting of soil temp maps (4bare) for the planting season April 1st. Which map do y'all want this year? Let us know below.

Here's what separates the March For Life from any other march: nobody in attendance is marching for themselves. Nobody is demanding rights or privileges for themselves. Everyone is marching on behalf of those who cannot march.

IFCA & U of I researchers were hand harvesting nitrogen tracking fields yesterday in Christian Co yesterday. The corn to the right is a result of zero nitrogen strip. This is a NREC funded project. #Fertilizer #4R #ILNLRS #agresearch #agriculture #NREC @IllinoisNrec @IFCA4Rcrop

Harvesting was revolutionized when the Axial-Flow was introduced in 1977. We pay tribute to the original with a special-edition heritage look on our new 150 series combine.

[Scott Irwin @ScottIrwinUI]

With snow on the ground and hard freezing temps in central IL on April 2 its hard not to be worried about corn planting progress. Keep this chart in mind. We still have 40-45 days to go before we should worry too much. #FDD https://t.co/FKNlylogDo
