Spring is in the air and the fields are starting to fill with green. The words in the back of everyone’s mind are: first crop. Time to get the equipment out, cleaned off, tuned-up and ready to roll. Whether you are doing balealge, haylage, or dry hay, knowing what quality you are aiming for will help guide you on what temperature to harvest at.
As I’m writing this, Corn and soybean plantings continue to lag behind average. The latest crop progress report shows corn plantings at 14%, vs. a year ago progress of 42%. Soybeans are just 5% versus last year at 22%. Widespread cold and wet conditions throughout the corn belt have hampered farmers’ ability to get an early or even normal start to planting.
We all know diligent scouting is critical for the early detection of in-field problems such as insects, diseases, and weed pressure. If you’re not supplementing traditional scouting efforts with the technology tools available through various apps, you could be missing out on opportunities to save time, increase efficiency, and optimize your yield and return on investment potential.
