For the crop that is in the ground, Pioneer Field Agronomist Kevin Sinner says it’s important to check the stand. “On corn especially, your stand establishment is probably the most important thing, and you don’t want to be surprised when you’re out in the combine this fall having planted 34,000 (plants per acre) and now you’re only at 26,000. Knowing now is better than later.” The Pioneer Agronomy Update was hosted by Stenvold Ag Service in the Fisher/Thompson area. In the report, Sinner also discusses crop maturity and insect pressure. The entire Pioneer Agronomy Update interview can be found on the Red River Farm Network YouTube channel.
