Great morning at Stoneville with the Delta Region ANR agents. MSU Extension row crop specialists provided an in-season update on current crop conditions, production challenges, and management recommendations across Mississippi’s row crops.

🎥 Check out these soybean varieties that are being tested in variety trials across the state for their yield potential in areas with high white tailed deer pressure. #mscrops #MSUext

Extension Director Dr. Angus Catchot got in touch with his artistic side at @Mississippi4H Club Congress this week!

4-H inspires creativity, imagination and originality🍀🎨 Interested in learning more? Contact your county’s Extension office!

Lots of details in these few words

Buggy-whipping often occurs as corn recovers from freeze. This happens as new growth temporarily hangs on dead vegetation. They should soon pull free with little adverse effects.

For reference, the corn in the last photo still made over 250 bu/a despite severe hail damage. 🌽

[Erick Larson @MStateCorn]

We should begin to see green leaves re-emerging from freeze burnt corn.

Warm, sunny weather will promote growth, so this should help.

However, it will be next week before we can fully assess survival.

Meeting season is officially here.

@MSUExtService will be hosting a row crop meeting in a county near you.

The Corn Short List identifies top performers in the MAFES Hybrid Trials. 12 companies entered over 40 hybrids to show their merit this year.

This is a great barometer to judge the vast choices available.

We are here to help.

“So God made a farmer.” 🌽

This harvest season, we stand with Mississippi corn growers - working through challenges, feeding our families, and sustaining our future.

Love having the opportunity to showcase irrigation innovations to growers, consultants, and stakeholders at our research center. Discussing and demonstrating our efforts with those who matter most is what it’s all about. @MSSOY @MississippiCorn https://t.co/CBEG56EOXy

[Erick Larson @MStateCorn]

Harvest aids will be needed in some #corn fields. However, take care to spray them only after black-layer, since killing corn prematurely will halt grain fill. This layer completes kernel growth and isolates them from the plant.

Thus, grain drying is unaffected.

How are you spending your summer? At MFBF Safety Camp, these students are learning how to stay safe while on the farm and in everyday life.

[Erick Larson @MStateCorn]

Altering your late corn #irrigation schedule is a great opportunity to improve #ROI. Corn’s water use drops off nearly half compared to peak use as it nears maturity.

Thus, you can prolong intervals and use a drier threshold.

🌽#mscorn #MSUext #plant25 #corn

[Erick Larson @MStateCorn]

Incessant rain dictates multi-faceted nitrogen plans for #corn since soggy soils ⬆️ extensive N loss and ⬇️ yield.

Thus, matching N timing, rate and source relative to corn need improve ROI greatly.

Turning financial recordkeeping into a regular habit can be a game-changer for farmers!

Our Extension experts have put all of their tips and advice into this publication! Read it here: https://t.co/2ehF4rCMuB #MSUext

[Erick Larson @MStateCorn]

Hard rain can erode beds, expose roots and create #corn developmental issues. This can lead to “rootless” plants falling down and dying when they get about a foot tall.

@MSUExtService Director Angus Catchot explains what started as a cotton short course with less than 100 attendees has grown to a Row Crop Short Course with more than 800 people registered from 12 states!

These are the best yields #harvest24 so far this year in our MSU #Corn Hybrid Demo plots. Triple Run Farms went the extra mile to grow 2 plots and managed them well. Thanks to Adron, Alex, 8 participating seed companies and all involved.

Delta #harvest24 is in full swing. These are the yield results from a MSU #Corn Hybrid Demo plot grown at Brown Farms near Schlater.

Thanks to the Browns, Lou Adams, the 8 participating seed companies, and all involved.
