@phhermans Ya that’s where I stopped too. So much more time and work to go deeper. Ear board pics are quick and easy to help understand if a hybrid is more length or row #. But only way to know kernel weight is to weigh em
English
@Bean_Doctor Thanks ! These are grain samples off weigh wagon. Three weighs to average out across the area. A sub sample. Should we do cob counts ? -rows etc .This was a quick snapshot YOY. Thoughts ?
English
Here is a quick summary of kernel weights in corn we calculated in 2025 and how that compared to 2024. #Ontag #AlwaysLearning #EveryYearIsDifferent #Corn #Agronomy What kernel weights did you get last year?
English
@deutmeyer_troy That’s a neat comparison table! We see very similar things. I’m most impressed by your ability to keep track of all those different calls and soil tests during a chaotic fall 🤣

Agronomy Lessons from 2025
#1 IMHO (again)
The "Basics" continue to deliver the most consistent yields year in and year out despite weather.
Balanced base soil fertility, soil health/biology, uniform emergence & disease management focused customers weather the storm in most cases.
Disease & drought tolerance, nitrogen use efficiency, staygreen, standability & economic yield come largely from these four items.
While we always need to be learning & implementing new & innovative practices... these need to be your foundation to make others work.

I’m thrilled to share that I’m joining Intelligent Ag Consulting & will be stepping down from Pivot Bio’s Director of Agronomy. This will get me back in the field, working with farmers! Vachel & I will offer VR fertility Rx's, consulting, & Pivot Bio products in IA & N MO

@XtremeAgFarming @pivotbio Thanks for the trial @KellyGarrett75! If you wanna see a yield bump, then N needs to be the limiting factor. Otherwise we have lots of folks that don’t want to risk going that low but are successfully replacing a portion of their N and getting the same or slightly better yields
English
I’ve tried @pivotbio before, but never really saw a difference—until this year.
When I dropped my N rate to 100 lbs, I finally saw a 7-bushel bump. #farmtrial #agriculture #farming #xtremeag #gen3

@jasonmauck1 Wall Street Apes is generally not a useful source of strong, validated agronomic research information.
English
If you really want to know how dumber … and controllable we’ll be as a society ask AI questions about things you know well.
Watch this video as a farmer. Looks like he planted a garden and left for vacation for 3 months. I know I grow multiple plants together … but there are sequences and firewalls present that make it work. This is neglect and blame towards a boogie man.

This is one of the most important videos you can watch American Farmer says he’s tested his soil and it has 5x the amount of aluminum it used to have. The GMO seeds grow fine, all his heirloom seed crops are all the sudden failing (shows proof) Bill Gates is creating GMO seeds that grow in aluminum rich soil. I’ve posted the video proof We are being ruled by extremely evil people and one day only their GMO seeds will be the ones that grow. Total control of our food RFK Jr and Head of the EPA Lee Zeldin both promised to stop them spraying these chemicals in our sky. The need to move faster

The UW BeanTeam read a paper from @sethnaeve about redefining the critical period for yield determination in soybean. So @badgercropguy came up with and deployed an in-season FA&FindOut study! The @WISoyCheckoff @wicorngrowers funded drone sure makes these research ideas easy!
English
Why it’s fun to farm SC IA soils, part 1: Edina silt loam, 0-1% slopes. Easy-peasy, right? Take a look at Ksat (speed of saturated water flow). At 20” it goes from 30 mm/hr to 0.1, almost nothing. After a few 2” rains in the spring it doesn’t dry out for a long time.
English
@Bean_Doctor @pivotbio Is this available in both an in-furrow & seed treatment option?
English
Cool thing about leading a national team is seeing results from all over! @pivotbio looking good in early growth, earlier tassel, better staygreen, and bigger ears!

He’s done it AGAIN! Congratulations to @AlexHarrell21 from GA for breaking his own world record with an astounding 218 bu/ac soybean yield. We’re proud that BRANDT’s innovative nutritional products were part of this achievement once again.

Planted my last Product Development plot yesterday. Hopefully it’s not my last corn plot planting 🤞 Next week will be new ~ “Commercial Leadership Team” meetings all week…

And to think 40 days ago we were concerned about terminating cover crops to preserve moisture??
Will count our blessing in the area I cover along Hwy 20.. to the north and south of us much wetter. Some areas wettest 35-40 days on record!

Time to prioritize corn planting and save your soybeans for last…

@PlantItProfit @pivotbio They add an interesting flavor to your lunch if stored in the same cooler…

Tell me you’re a @pivotbio dealer without telling me you’re a Pivot Bio dealer…

Every time Pivot Bio's patented on-seed microbial nitrogen is applied, each customer's seed is lab-tested for microbial viability prior to planting. This is part of the two-step process that Pivot Bio uses to ensure our microbes on the seeds are ready to produce nitrogen.🔬
