Derek and Nick discuss current crop progress, and stress impacts on yield at this stage. They also give an update on corn disease pressure, and discuss corn and soybean fungicide applications and philosophies.

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss current crop stage and ideal fungicide timing in both corn and soybeans. They also give an update on tar spot, Southern rust, Japanese beetle, and corn leafhopper pest pressure.

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss potential threats caused by the heavy precipitation thus far in the growing season: nitrogen loss and diseases (specifically tar spot in corn). They also discuss corn and soybean growth stage cutoffs for herbicides along with potential insect pressure.

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss why our post-emergence herbicide applications in corn have been a struggle this spring. They also discuss what to do if that application failed. Plus, they get into some timely comments on top-dressing nitrogen applications in corn.

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss current questions around corn stand assessment, deciding when to replant, and how to kill a failed corn stand. They also highlight the importance of adjusting weed control programs in a year like this, as well as starting to think about top-dress/side-dress nitrogen applications in corn.

Derek, Nick, and Rodney give updates on planting progress in their respective geographies. They also discuss various topics impacted by the wet conditions: weed control, potential nitrogen loss, assessing potential replant scenarios, and more.

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss current conditions and planting progress (or lack thereof) to date. They also discuss timely weed control tips, insect pest updates, wheat progress, and termination tips for cereal rye and wheat cover crops still growing.

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss the impact of the unseasonably warm March temperatures on early planting progress, insect pest pressure, weed pressure, and potential implications on fall nitrogen applications. They also discuss how an April freeze event could effect an emerged corn or soybean stand.
