The latest Pioneer Agronomy Update came from an experimental product testing plot near Fisher, Minnesota. Agronomist Zach Fore said the corn is making excellent progress. “For GDUs, we’re 100-to-200 ahead of normal. Every 100 GDUs is four maturity days so if we’re ahead by 100 GDUs that means an 80-day hybrid looks like a 76-day. In some places, we’re 200 ahead which is a lot. That means an 88-day hybrid looks like an 80 day hybrid.” Don’t forget, the Red River Farm Network Crop Tour Presented by Pioneer takes place the week of August 24.
