Tar spot is caused by a fungus called Phyllachora maydis that can spread throughout corn fields in the Midwest. This disease was first found in 2015, but has quickly spread throughout Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, and Missouri.

Addressing Hail Damaged Corn

Addressing Hail Damaged Corn

Certain areas around the Midwest have received significant hail damage to crops in recent days and weeks. After damage has occurred it is important to wait at least 5 days before assessing. This gives the crop the appropriate time to regrow and allows you to more accurately evaluate stand loss.

It’s Time to Evaluate Stands

It’s Time to Evaluate Stands

Stand establishment of corn and soybeans is the combined result of several things such as seed quality, planting standards, soil conditions at planting, and weather patterns 24-48 hours after planting. Evaluating stands involves determining two things: stand quantity (population) and stand quality (number of full ears at harvest compared to planting population).

"Being a 4th generation farmer comes with a lot of high expectations to continue to work towards higher yield and more consistency. I plant AgVenture because I know I'm getting the highest quality seed in the industry. I have better emergence, higher NEPS, and more top end yield. I have full confidence that AgVenture will be the only seed I plant on my farm"
