Field Crops Virtual Breakfast Series First Hot Topic Session of the Season

By Monica Jean

Join the Michigan State University Extension Field Crops Virtual Breakfast Series on Thursday, July 10, with all your questions from the 2025 season you've been wanting to discuss. In the past, topics like insect damage, deer damage and other seasonal issues have been discussed. We typically hold two hot topics a season in order to allow attendees the opportunity to ask MSU Extension educators and specialists any question they may have.

MSU Extension agricultural meteorologist Jeff Andresen will also present a detailed weather outlook and report.

We cover the two-tool method, the two-leaf-stage rule, replanting decisions, herbicide residual considerations, and velvet leaf identification. Planted April 11th in cold conditions, stand counts came back solid at around 30,000 across the field.
