Grass sawfly
We have not observed any grass sawfly larvae in our field surveys. This suggests that the larvae have matured and have dropped to the soil. They will form pupae in the soil in which they will remain until the following spring. We will monitor these areas for adult emergence next spring.

Wheat Stem Sawfly State-Wide Survey
Now that the adult sawflies have finished their emergence cycle, we will soon start our state-wide sawfly infestation survey. This is a large project that we strive to make as comprehensive as possible.

Time to save the crop with fungicide!

Video: Time to save the crop with fungicide!

In today’s YouTube video, we walk through some corn fields scouting for disease pressure. Living in the river bottoms like we do, we are always at risk for gray leaf spot and Northern corn blight. We are doing an aerial application of Miravis Neo to protect our corn from those diseases. This year we are using a drone to do our application to help ensure that we can be timely and protect our investment. Miravis Neo helps corn and soybeans stay cleaner and greener through harvest for greater potential yield and ROI.
