Episode 33: Voices from the Field: Crop Tour Highlights Risk and Resilience

So out on the Pro Farmer today, amazing opportunity to move across a number of key states.

So Iowa for us today started a little bit in the edge of Nebraska and really going out to see the corn and see the soybeans, do some measurements, do some counts, gives a first look at what yields might look like from samples actually boots on the ground.

Yeah, I think things look good.

I mean, compared to last year, very little disease pressure.

Two fields ago, we saw just a little bit of white mold on the corn, but really not bad.

Definitely seeing some tip back.

So probably some stress on things.

Maybe pollination wasn't as great as you want it to be.

But I think overall looking good.

I mean, how about the one soybeans at the last one?

That was insane.

I think the stem on that thing was over a quarter inch round or half.

Yeah, it

was a monster 250 pod count on it.

It was, wow, those were some Iowa soybeans.
