Crop Acreage Shifts, Production SoarsIn 1980, corn was king, followed by wheat, soybeans and cotton... corn and wheat exports and exports, was the impetus of the last farm crisis. Today, corn and soybean acres are neck and neck, followed by wheat and cotton. Chinese tariffs have been the biggest pain point for soybeans, but not impacted corn as significantly, at least not directly. Unfortunately for corn and soybean farmers, its not just the exports of their own commodities they should be concerned about today...

A meta-analysis of data gathered from 2002 to 2009 across 14 states in the Corn Belt showed average yield increases of 1 to 4 bu/ac when foliar fungicides were applied when disease pressure was low (less than 5% of the ear leaf infected with disease between R4 and R6 growth stages)...

Yield averages in corn remained relatively flat for nearly 70 years from the mid-1800’s until hybrids were widely introduced and adopted by farmers in the 1940’s.

In the past few years, we have made a concerted effort to increase the usage of cover crops and other conservation practices on our farm. I have learned a lot of lessons from this experience but one stands out above the rest. Being a good steward of the environment and aiming to produce high yields don’t have to be mutually exclusive... The cornerstone of any good crop production system involving conservation techniques is the establishment of cover crops... Our most impactful cover crops have been those following corn for this reason alone...

It's a fact: cover crops tend to make good farmers into great farmers and average farmers into bad farmers. Cover crops work. But, management is key and the learning curve can be steep. If you've been sitting on the sidelines in the past but are interested in jumping on the cover crop bandwagon, don't be intimidated... Here in SC, we begin seeding ours behind corn in the middle of August and will plant them up until the end of November...

It’s been over two decades since the first Roundup Ready crops were planted in commercial fields... Roundup Ready corn and soybeans quickly became the norm in fields across the United States, and as a result, application of glyphosate increased dramatically... In the initial years of use, glyphosate provided an effective, economical means to control weeds in Roundup Ready corn, soybeans and cotton... In the case of glyphosate resistance, many farmers rotated Roundup Ready corn with Roundup Ready soybeans in fields for years without changing up their sites of herbicide action... There are no corners to cut when using these products...

In July of 2014, I sat in the audience on the last day of the InfoAg Conference in St Louis. It was my first major farm conference trip outside of somewhat local events that had been put on near my home in the Carolinas. Frankly, my mind was blown with this experience... We have users from over 64 countries and we have special interest groups ranging from crops like corn all the way down to topics like hydroponics... Through our search-filtering capabilities and popularity algorithms, when you search something like “Corn Fungicides,” you will find the best information or articles on that subject quickly and easily...

There are many factors that can influence corn yield. In fact, Fred Below, a plant physiologist at the University of Illinois, identified seven of them, which he dubbed the “Seven Wonders of the Corn Yield World... Below two state corn yield champions share how cover crops helped them capture contest wins, while also improving their soil and boosting their profits...
