Corn across the region is well into the pollination phase. Peterson Farms Seed Lead Agronomist Rick Swenson says the crop is well ahead of the normal pace. “From full flower, it’s about 60 days before you get to black layer so I really wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t have some fields black layering by the 10th of September and in our north country we can’t ask for anything more.” Scouting is now recommended for soybean aphids. “We’re really watching how those populations go, we might end up having to spray later in July.”
