Current #soil temp this morning in Sac Co in worked corn stalks. Dry soil will have larger swings in temps than damp soils because it takes less energy to change the temperature of air than water. Could see some wild numbers this week.

I didn’t have much faith that this rye #covercrop would come up thanks to #drought20. I was pleasantly surprised to find this today!! This will feed a lot of cows next spring!

Dragging a weigh wagon around 3 states this week for plots and calibrations has made for some long days. But yesterday I made it home in time for bedtime snuggles 🥰🥰. #favoritethings #cuddles #harvest20 #plots #imanagronomist #momlife #aboyandhiscat

Elevated fire weather conditions are forecast across much of central to western portions of Iowa tomorrow afternoon due to the breezy southwest winds, low relative humidity and fuels (such as grasslands and crops) becoming cured. #iawx #FireWeather

Nothing like a little company when doing monitor calibrations! #harvest2020 #husky

I’m thinking we will see a fair amount of #greenstemsyndrome in #soybeans this year with all the aborts we had. Thanks #drought20. What do you think @PaulKassel?

[Nora Schultz @nschultz2014]

After a discussion with a curious customer we decided to sort pods based on if they were aborting #soybeans in due to #drought20. 31% of the pods had aborted one or more. Now to find out what’s normal 🤔 #scout20

#Corn stalks are going to have a rough year. Had just a bit of a gusty day on Monday with that cold front and this is what I’m finding. #physoderma and some anthracnose. @corndisease

@PaulKassel 110RM getting pretty close here!

.@ISUDigitalAg and @ISUExtension teamed up last week for a field demonstration of tillage options to process unharvestable corn. Check out our blog post to help choose the best plan for your field. ➡️https://t.co/s99DMzBmRx

Thinking I may have found a touch of #diplodia ear rot in southern Sac Co, IA. Luckily only one ear but I don’t trust 2020. @corndisease @PaulKassel

[Nora Schultz @nschultz2014]

What a view! Scouting some beautiful fields near Ponca, NE. I am happy I’m not the one driving the combine or grain cart in these hills though! #scout20 #hillfarm #nebraska

103 day hybrid, corn on corn, no N deficiency symptoms, healthy looking field. 2.1 inches of rain since June 18. Pick and weigh method says 150 bu/a.

[Nora Schultz @nschultz2014]

Corn reaching full dent in East Sac / west Calhoun co IA. Finding more ear & kernel rots as well. Some penicillium here. Management is not usually needed but if it gets bad it should be tested for #mycotoxins such as ochratoxin. #corn #scout20 @corndisease

[Nora Schultz @nschultz2014]

Some #southernrust today! It can be a quick moving pathogen but it was very minimal in this plot in central Sac Co

[Nora Schultz @nschultz2014]

More storm damage in Northern Carroll Co where #derecho2020 first picked up steam. Important PSA on scouting hail damaged corn - SAFETY GLASSES people!!!

[Nora Schultz @nschultz2014]

More corn starting to dent in Northwest Iowa @PaulKassel

[Nora Schultz @nschultz2014]

Some storm damage in Southern Sac Co #derecho2020

[Nora Schultz @nschultz2014]

What a beautiful sight! #drought20 @KMEG14weather @NWSDesMoines
