AGRONOMY WEEKLY NEWS

Corn & Soybeans

Not much has changed since last week and the crops are in a holding pattern. We are starting to see early beans have a tinge of yellowing, but they are still a ways away from a combine wheel from turning.


Corn Fungicide applications continue to get finished up. If you have late planted corn and are worried about tarspot or other fungal diseases, call your agronomist. Tarspot is all over Lambton County, and is expected to be widespread during dry down. One unexpected pest on the corn crop this year has been birds.


Our agronomy team will be doing some yield estimates on fields over the next few weeks. If you are interested in our team doing a count on one of your fields, please let us know!


We are once again on the cusp of completing IP soybean contracts. If you have IPs in the ground, you can expect to get an email or phone call over the next few weeks, to clean up the final few pages of the contract before we get into the thick of harvest. 

Wheat

Early order seed has started, and wheat seed is now available for this fall! We will have Constellation and Blaze Seed in bulk, with the rest of the C&M varieties available in totes and bags.
