Corn Crop On Par For Mid-June

The Manitoba Corn Growers Association is providing an update on this year's corn crop.
 
Agronomist Morgan Cott says the crop is on par for this time of year.
 
"Generally it's looking pretty good, I'm fairly happy with the crop. A little stagy, I think is probably the worst thing that's happening, just because of the dry, wet difficult soil bed conditions. I think that that's probably the worst of it."
 
Cott says some farmers have been spraying for cutworms.
 
She notes the soil has good moisture, adding some regions could use a little more.
 
There have been some instances of rapid grown syndrome.

Seed Testing: Regulatory Cost or Competitive Advantage?

Video: Seed Testing: Regulatory Cost or Competitive Advantage?

Most seed companies see testing as a regulatory box to check.

But what if it’s actually one of your strongest competitive advantages?

In this conversation with Amanda Patin, North America Business Development Director for US Crop Science at SGS, we dig into what seed testing really reveals, far beyond germination and a lab report. From seed vigor and mechanical damage to stress performance and pathogen pressure, Patin explains how deeper testing can help companies differentiate their seed, protect value, and drive real return on investment.

If seed testing is something you only think about when you have to, this discussion might change how you see and use it.
