Why is the outside pass of a corn field yielding so much more than the second pass?
Have communicated frequently this grain fill season on low solar radiation & impacts on yield & stalk quality/plant intactness.
Many have commented about the huge yield differences on outside pass & the next one in.
Example from a customer in NE Delaware County. Outside pass over 30 bushels better than next one in. The first few rows got the extra solar radiation being no crop was next to them.
From July 20th on, only 13 days with normal or above solar radiation... with many days well below average.
For those with solar panels, summer of 2026 was far below normal electrical production

If that's the shot that it takes for the #2 team in the country to beat you... *shrug* ...then you just tip your cap and move on.
Great day to cold test some emergence scores in our @PioneerSeeds plot. Chilly night ahead. Thanks @NatePech for the help. Stay tuned!
Great SxS demo of ground rig vs drone on the same field and variety. Looking forward to seeing the results on disease control and yields this fall! 2gpa vs 15gpa. @PioneerSeeds
Annual reminder to stop by your local @caseysgenstore for your extension hopper plot cups. Great day to plant a @PioneerSeeds population trial!

How much are we losing? Graphic shows yield loss in killing frost at "dent" stages. Won't lose all of this if don't make it to Sunday, a large chunk could be realized in rapid death Ex 1/4 milk line (R5.25) has 25-35% loss may b possible 2 lose half, 12-17% in extreme situations

As fungicide apps get going next week, b sure 2 check water pH & lowered if necessary. Chart below shows how pH can DRASTICALLY impact the half life. pH of 7shows if the solution is in a tank for 3 hours, you have half the AI left when you mixed it!!

“ Will that @PioneerSeeds that I planted in April 12th 2023 be ok? It got pretty 🥶 over the weekend!”
Yes! I took 4 hybrids and exhumed seedlings that had barely sprouted from a 4-12 planted plot and some leftover from the bag and did a warm germ test. Good so far!
Great day for a @PioneerSeeds corn plot. Annual reminder to order your @caseysgenstore hopper extensions for for the next round of #plant23 plots! – at Charles City, IA
Shoutout to @caseysgenstore coming in clutch with some hopper extensions planting our @PioneerSeeds enlist soybean plot! #patentpending – at Charles City, IA

Due to the high input prices, there’s a lot of talk out there about fertility. What do we need? What can we cut? One of the most important factors to remember is pH. We can make our fertility go further in 2022 by having the proper pH. #Agronomy

Just filled the truck with E15 (88 blend) for $0.35/gallon less than E10. That's $8.00 on one tank fill. Yet, E15 is offered at less than 20% of pumps in Iowa. We need to do better for consumers, farmers & the environment. Let's sell more biofuels! #ialegis
