White mold is getting easy to find in the northern Illinois soybean crop. SDS and BSR also showing up. Now is a good time to scout. The next few weeks are critical for finishing out yield potential.

Bad week to be a soybean. Great morning to harvest a Stone soybean plot! 2XF2874 took the top spot, great new 2.8 MG addition to the lineup for 2024

Day 2 of the Northern Illinois @ChannelSeed Plot tour. Looked at corn west of the Illinois River. Corn is looking good for the conditions it’s been through.

We could use some rain before pollination but 210-46STX is getting prepared either way @ChannelSeedNIL #Bayer4IL

First day of emergence notes in progress! 2823RXF standing out this morning with early vigor and consistency in Woodford Co. planted 4/23. This will be a solid late group 2 soybean for us in 2023 that will move well throughout N. IL #Bayer4IL @ChannelSeedNIL

It’s been a cold and damp April across IL, pushing much of #plant22 into May. Let’s not forget how fun #plant19 was though and put the two in perspective. Warmer temps and better weather on the way 🤞

Must have product for Northern IL growers in 2022! Brings top end yield potential and 👌 harvest appearance #Bayer4IL
Farmers from a variety of regions turn to these 3.3MG XtendFlex soybeans for their excellent iron deficiency chlorosis tolerance and their tall, bushy stature. #Harvest21 #ChannelDelivers
