The latest Pioneer Agronomy Update comes from South Valley Seed of Wheaton, Minnesota. The southern portion of the Red River Valley has been wet for a majority of the growing season. The soybeans and corn in the region are at a critical phase in the growth process. “Some fields look great, while others are very uneven,” says Pioneer field agronomist Clyde Tiffany. “Most of the corn is past pollination, although there is some that hasn’t thrown a tassel yet. We need moisture right now as grain fill starts.” Tiffany adds the area will need all of August and September without a frost for the crop to reach maturity, based on historical data. Hear more about crop conditions and learn about corn leaf blotch miner in the Facebook video update.
