Pre Harvest Yield Guide
A new tool Pioneer is developing to estimate corn & soy yields during late grain fill stages.
Uses a combo of imagery (seasonal & historic), weather and aggregated yield data to determine past yields (target) & estimate yields for this season.
For those partnering with your Local Pioneer Sales Rep on as planted and harvest data, this will be available for your fields moving forward.
Just like all AI/machine learning, the more accurate and volume of data in, the better the output.
With all the challenges this growing season in the area I cover, having most fields within 20 bushels of target or even above I think is incredible!
Many fields are experiencing uneven tassel emergence this summer.
This is due to uneven emergence and uneven vegetative growth after emergence.
Causes for this:
1) Wet soil during tillage creating clods & soil density layer
2) Anhydrous burn
3) Shallow/inconsistent planting depth
3) Uneven tillage floor
4) Sidewall compaction
5) Saturated/anerobic soil conditions
If you are seeing plant to plant variability, row to row variability or patterns in your fields then it likely is #1-4.. If you are seeing pockets of later emerging tassels, it likely is #5.
Oops - generic included application cost ($10) but name brand did not. So +$10 to ROI for 1 generic app & +$20 for 2 generic app. Also note - azoxystrobin is excellent against rusts. If another QoI used, OR another disease prevalent, differences in ROI may be different.

Huge thanks to Ken Pecinovsky for all the effort to do the hybrid x fungicide trial!!
