As you make your way through another busy harvest, it’s important to record your field observations in order to make informed decisions for next year’s product selections.
Soybeans face many challenges during the growing season that can impact yield potential. Crops undergo a series of vegetative and reproductive growth stages, each with unique developmental processes and stressors.

With the harvest season fast approaching, it is the ideal time to look ahead and start developing plans for a successful harvest. Conducting preharvest scouting of corn can be beneficial.
With the harvest season fast approaching, it is the ideal time to look ahead and start developing plans for a successful harvest.
At this stage of the season, it’s a good time to scout fields for compromised plants that can reveal any early season stressors that may have stymied ear development and, ultimately, yield potential.
There are many challenges farmers face when it comes to corn rootworm pressure and protecting yield potential from the corn pest.
Nitrogen is a high-value nutrient necessary for corn plant growth and high grain yield potential, but high yields at harvest time do not come without an investment.
With most seed in the ground by now, it’s time to get in the fields for early season scouting to monitor the emergence and eventual growth of the crop.
With most seed in the ground by now, it’s time to get in the fields for early season scouting to monitor the emergence and early season growth of the crop.
The onset of the 2023 planting season means now is the ideal time to get ahead of weed pressure and make the right strategic decisions to help mitigate weed emergence.
As farmers make plans for 2023, planting soybeans early is one of their priorities. “One of the big things growers are talking about on soybeans is maturity. With growers planting earlier, they are starting to look into earlier-maturing beans,” said Josh Tooley, agronomist.
As harvest winds down, farmers reflect on the growing season and evaluate what went well and what changes to make for next year.
Weeds were the talk of the town — and the soybean fields — this year in Indiana. “Weed control is a conversation this year, especially since it was so dry in June,” said Jason Harmon, DEKALB Asgrow technical agronomist for northern Indiana.
A healthy, active soil is essential to the success of any farm.
Challenges that can restrict yield potential will occur almost every year, but good planning can help limit the impact of those challenges. Identifying and managing the factors that suppress production on each field will help maximize corn yield potential.
In a year when expectations, demand and price for soybeans are all high, the Illinois soybean crop may not meet those great expectations everywhere.
A good — not great — corn crop in central and southern Indiana should finish strong, but concerns about late-season disease pressure are top of mind for some producers.
Yield Profit Challenge
As the growing season progresses to the maturity stage, it’s a good time to evaluate the crop and consider your harvest plans. Many farmers approach harvest pragmatically. For instance, they might consider the logistics of moving machinery.
There are numerous players in the carbon market space, including a new platform that will be fully operational by the end of 2022. Carbonplace is a platform created by global financial institutions committed to strengthening the voluntary carbon credit market.
July marks the halfway point to the harvest finish line for many corn farmers. At this stage of the season, it’s a good time to evaluate fields for compromised plants that can reveal early season stressors that may have stymied ear development and, ultimately, yield potential.
This year’s U.S. Department of Agriculture planting intention surveys indicate that many farmers are swapping corn acres for soybean acres to take advantage of the lower costs of soybean production.
The presence of foliar disease around the tasseling stage in corn development can lead to significant yield loss. Yield potential is impacted when the top eight to nine leaves above the ear become riddled with disease.
Over the last decade, many pieces of U.S. climate and environmental policy have sought to make use of the climate change mitigation potential of carbon sequestration and carbon markets have been developed.
It’s tough to control corn rootworm larvae after finding the pest in a cornfield. Proactive management plans are the most effective protection against yield loss from CRW, and vigilance is key to controlling the pest.
The onset of the 2022 growing season has farmers checking and rechecking their input costs. It can be challenging to balance the cost of crop inputs and realize top yield potential.
