🚨FINAL WEEK TO REGISTER! Join Purdue University in the Field Scout Intern Workshop held on two great dates in 2026. 📋May 28th or June 2nd, this hands-on, in-field training prepares your 🌽field scouts for the summer ahead! To register: cvent.me/PyermO @PurdueExtension

In our recent episode, @PUweeds shared the science behind overlapping residuals. These are insights you can't afford to miss. If you find this science interesting, be ready for the management episode, releasing next Tuesday. Listen now: youtu.be/YAc5cE-1Z5Y

As we get further into May, it’s important to understand hybrid growing degree day compression and not pulling the trigger too soon on switching maturities. @PurdueAgryExt @PurdueAgronomy @PurdueAg @PurdueExtension farmprogress.com/corn/corn-plan…

🌽 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗡 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 Introducing Dr. Dan Quinn. His research and Extension program focuses on improving Midwest corn systems through agronomic research. Follow along as we highlight members and their work across U.S. corn systems.

🚨New week, new insights! This week’s Issue 29 features planting progress across Indiana, potential impacts of heavy rainfall and flooding on corn growth, and insights on corn ear rots and mycotoxins. 🔗bit.ly/Issue29Corn @PurdueAg @PurdueAgryExt

Many pathogens cause corn seed decay and seedling blight. The first symptom may be an area of the field with poor or no stand. Decayed seeds are very soft and may be covered with fuzzy fungal growth; seeds can be difficult to find if badly rotted. Postemergence damping off appears as yellowing and wilting; seedlings soon collapse leaving only dead leaves above the soil. Nodal roots may show the same decay symptoms as seminal roots and the mesocotyl. If the nodal root system escapes decay, the plant will survive; it may be stunted or recover fully. Favored by cool, wet soils, these diseases are more common in low-lying or poorly drained areas or in fields planted too early in spring. Ask local Extension for more information. @alisonrISU @cropdoc08 @alabamaED @ppp_trey @travisfaske @DTelenko @MandyBish1 @tjcksn @MPlumblee @dsmuelle @YuanZeng3 @baldpathologist @bobkemerait @badgercropdoc @MartinChilvers1 @maddishires @NationalCorn @kscorn @MississippiCorn #plant26 #corn #agx #seeds #farming

𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗘 🌽 Field season is underway, and the team has been out at ACRE laying out and staking research plots. Always good to be back in the field. 🌱 📸 Purdue Agricultural Communications @purdue_ag @purdueagronomy

Farmers are racing ahead with planting—but a hidden weed problem could be gaining ground and causing problems just as fast. @PurdueAg @PurdueExtension @PurdueCorn @PurdueSoybean @PurdueAgronomy @PurdueAgryExt @PurdueBPP hoosieragtoday.com/2026/04/29/pur…

Early Stage Corn Growth and Development. Watch at youtu.be/-LYyjqTAbxU. From @WiscBadger_corn. Learn how the early season period from planting to the V6 stage establishes the physiological foundation for corn yield by forming critical root systems, photosynthetic capacity, and reproductive structures. @UWMadison @UWMadisonCALS @badgercropdoc @WIAgContent #corn #plant26 @corn_network @wicorngrowers @NationalCorn

Sean and Andrew are back with @purduecorn to talk about unlocking higher corn yields. From pre-planting to in-season advice, they cover it all! Whether you're in the tractor or waiting on fields to dry out, you're going to want to listen to this. youtu.be/_G3W1fO1RU0

🌽Each year Purdue hosts the Field Scout Intern Workshop. 📅A one-day event for early career agronomists and crop production interns. Offered on two dates in 2026 (5/28 or 6/2), ✔️choose your date to learn! Register today: cvent.me/PyermO

Congratulations to Dr. Dan Quinn on receiving the University of Kentucky Plant and Soil Sciences Alumnus Early Career Award. 👏 We’re proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition and are grateful for the leadership he brings to The Kernel Lab and Purdue Agronomy. 🌽
