Just some frosted corn from the nigh of June 11 to keep you on your toes! Most of this should be fine (a few will die), but it is hard to look at. We’ve had no significant rain since planting 5 weeks ago, and the soil is still cool and dry. Some warm rain would help!

Not ideal to have 6’ (at best) corn tasseling, the rest of the field is 3-4’ and two leaves away from tasseling, and K deficiency still running rampant. It must be dry! Not our typical suite of issues in Wisconsin. I’ve been leaning on my western friends for advice & input

Rain over the past week fell where it was needed most, but drought continues. Deficits over the past 3 months are 6 to 10 inches, highest in southwest Wisconsin. #wiwx

Beautiful day for a wheat plot! m.youtube.com/watch?v=-aUmQO…

Who’s ready for some 2024 Wisconsin PFR trials? The stage is being set! Look for the 2023 PFR results coming out soon 👍🏼

Shortest day of the year. It only gets brighter from here! #WinterSolstice

Needing the new PFR book from 2023? Stop in and grab your fresh copy. Beck’s Wisconsin team will be in Hanger B the next three days. Hope to see you here! #wpsfarmshow #beckshybrids

Happy Easter! Working on a little more planter assembly this morning before sending the rest of the weekend with family. #plant24 is right around the corner. Enjoy the Easter weekend 🙏🏼🙂

Happy April 1! Not an April Fools joke here, giant ragweed is emerging and growing in southern WI. This picture is actually from March 28. We might need to be prepared for some weedier early-season conditions in a few weeks.

First 4 rows of sweet corn are in! Earliest I’ve gotten those in and easily the best conditions for an early planting. #plant24

We are ready for plot season when she gets here! #farmerengineering #beckshybrids Thank you Joey Heneghan for the blue print. Now we wait for Mother Nature to make a change Beck's Wisconsin Agronomy

That rain last night didn’t feel very warm, but we gained 6-8 degrees of soil temperature across much of Wisconsin from it. With air temps in the 70s today, I’d expect some even warmer soil by the end of the weekend. #plant24

Can you find the “excessive downforce” treatment? WI PFR trials going in the ground! #plant24

Text from the field: "hey whats this?" The picture: If you're a grower, agronomist, or field scout, lets discuss how to take pictures that can help confirm what's going on in your crop. 🧵

I just left southern WI and a cooperator was heading out to spray wheat for FHB on a super early variety. An hour north, Arlington ARS, Adam Roth just finished cutting our wheat alleys and only the earliest variety heads were out. Next week will be go time for Feekes 10.51 in SWI

Wisconsin Winter Wheat Disease Update – May 24, 2024. Stripe rust confirmed in 2 WI counties this week and anthers emerging or emerged. Make those fungicide decisions now to control both stripe rust and FHB. It's go time! Shawn Conley badgercropdoc.com/2024/05/24/wis…
