@ChannelNorthernIllinois @ChannelSeed Plot walk through of new products youtu.be/kv_qLnhXZJg?si… via @YouTube Thanks to @atkinsongrain for the plot area!

"We have arrived!" The minimum growing degree day accumulation for 50% #corn #rootworm #CRW egg hatch has been reached in Champaign, IL. Tells us that ca. 50% of CRW eggs may have already hatched. It's early, typical hatch date is ca. 31 May - per #Purdue University data.

Found one of the very few dry spots in the state of Illinois to put a @ChannelSeedNIL @ChannelSeed plot in Newark, Illinois thanks to Seed Pro Tom Mathre @KRodCropDoc !

@TylerVreugdenh1 That’s a 2024 problem

Nothing like trying to get a new work computer set up before going on Xmas break 🤣🌽

214-78DGVT2PRIB @ChannelSeed has been having a great year in Northern Illinois this year!

NEW 212-40VT4PRO was the plot winner today by Waterman IL. #Bayer4IL

A @BayerTraits short corn variety trial being harvested tonight with @lyleeiten.

Prioritize harvest for #corn fields with 10% or more rotted stalks. If the stalk base is easily crushed when pinched or if plants easily break when pushed, stalk rot may be an issue. Ask local #Extension for more information. @PACropDoc @YuanZeng3 @bobkemerait @CropAndSoil @alabamaED @baldpathologist @TNplantDR @cropdoc08 @OSU_HortCropSci @MartinChilvers1 @ILextension @badgercropdoc @UMNExt @DTelenko @alisonrISU @dsmuelle @MandyBish1 @travisfaske @ppp_trey @tamusoilcrop @MahDuffeck @rodrigobonofre @KSUCropdiseases @tjcksn @NDSUcerealpath @maddishires @AlbertTenuta @IanMSmall1 @UDPlantPath #agtwitter #harvest2023 @PurdueCorn @SuccessfulFarm @FarmBureau @NationalCorn @ccecornell

Illinois #drought update. @DroughtCenter Monitor shows severe-to-moderate drought in most of central and northern Illinois. Worsening impacts to plants, soils, and streams & lakes. Another drier forecast for a lot of the D2 area this week. #ilwx go.illinois.edu/IllinoisDrought

Dry spring, #dicamba PRE (Xtendimax @ 22 fl oz/acre), & residual weed control:

Silver leaf syndrome showing up in corn in West Lafayette, IN. Symptoms typically observed in leaves facing the sky and in dry/low humidity conditions where rapid heat loss may have occurred. Crop effects are negligible and no yield loss should be observed. @PurdueAgronomy

A NEW ERA IN AGRICULTURE. @Bayer4CropsUS announced yesterday, 11 Bayer seed brands are joining forces to launch the new, enhanced Channel seed brand! Learn more about this announcement here: learn.ag/3AULul8 @Bayer4CropsUS

Another great plot day with @cbseeds and @Iowa_Channel! Excited to see how new @ChannelSeed products preform this year!

I am once again here to give you advice on #Plant23 this week. My advice? Check the calendar. Understand soil temps are colder than we’d like. Plant some beans.

Here’s what the GDU forecast tells me about planting this week… April 17th planting will emerge May 6-7 and takes on significant weather risk this week. Planting April 24th will emerge May 8-9 and avoid all the weather this week. IMO, I’d wait… #Plant23

Photo 1 shows emergence risk for a April 11 panting, which is either medium or high risk. Scheduled to emerge in 12 days on about April 22nd (photo 2) Photo 3 shows risk of panting Monday next week (very low) but emergence will take longer, emerging May 2nd (photo 4) #plant23
