Crop Talk by IAS – 06/25/26

Send us Fan MailCrop Talk by IAS – Field Scouting Update | June 25Post applications are pushing ahead as fields begin to dry, but variability is still the common theme across Iowa. What we’re seeing in the field right now is a mix of progress and pressure—wet soils, uneven crop color, and fast-moving weeds are driving a lot of decisions.In this week’s Crop Talk, the agronomy team shares boots-on-the-ground insights on post timing, weed control challenges, and how crop conditions are responding as weather patterns shift.In this episode, the team discusses:Post herbicide progress in corn and soybeans across regionsCrop recovery following recent wind events and saturated soilsYellowing corn and soybeans tied to moisture and compactionWaterhemp pressure and decisions around second and third passesSpray timing challenges with cool, cloudy conditionsCoverage considerations and how canopy closure affects application decisionsResidual herbicide strategy vs. “cleanup” applicationsField-by-field decision-making based on weed pressure and crop stageEarly disease considerations and what to watch as humidity persistsFungicide timing in soybeans and corn, including R1 vs. R3 considerationsConditions still vary field-by-field. Staying timely, adjusting to what each field needs, and continuing to scout will be critical in the weeks ahead.Featured this week: Owen Heetland - Northwest Region Agronomist (Cleves)  Melissa Schumann - Northeast Region Agronomist  Nicholas Giesseman - Host and Eastern Region Agronomist 🎧 Listen nowHave a question for the team?
