DuPont Pioneer Agronomy Report 4/6/16

 

Brian Bush

The DuPont Pioneer agronomy update is back again this year on Hoosier Ag Today. This is a weekly update from agronomists around the state on local field and crop conditions.  Our first report focuses on East Central Indiana. Brian Bush says fields in the East Central part of the state are still too wet and cold for any planting activity.  His advice is to watch the forecast for a window of dry and warm conditions, “It is one thing to plant when the soil temp is 55 degrees and warming, but quite another to plant when a cold front is coming with cold wet rain. I have seen too many times when we get uneven emergence and just don’t get the crop off to a good start.”
