To the east, mud.\nWhat does it all mean for the corn crop in these areas? Well, the answer might surprise you.\nCrop development is ahead of normal in many parts of the Corn Belt, with some fields approaching full dent or even half milk line earlier than expected because of heat and stress.\nWyffels Area Agronomy Managers Eric Wilson and Jared Goplen break down what they're seeing in corn right now across very different environments. The conversation focuses on grain fill stage, crop health, and how drought or excess moisture is already shaping yield potential and stalk integrity. They also share a practical framework for deciding whether late fungicide applications still make sense.\nLinks discussed in this episode:\nWyffels Hybrids Yield Calculator\nBetween the Rows® - Stalk Rot\nWyffels 80th Anniversary Customer Appreciation Event\nCrop Protection Network - Fungicide Efficacy for Control of Corn Foliar Diseases\nCrop Protection Network - Southern Rust Map\nCrop Protection Network - Tar Spot Map\nIowa State University Mesonet\nWe want to hear from you.
