A DEKALB Asgrow technical agronomist says farmers should scout for stalk quality issues.
Jordan Arndell is based in southern Indiana.
“In corn, one of my favorite things to do is the push stalk test- this is simply walking out in fields and giving multiple plants a good push,” he says. “This helps us indicate the stalk integrity of the plant and how quickly we may need to harvest them.”
As for soybeans, he says growers should look for plants that are holding leaves and monitor how quickly they’re drying down.
