Temperature control is as important as grain moisture content, an ag engineer said.

Crop producers may be able to continue harvesting but will be faced with storage challenges.

A lack of fertility, insect or hail damage, and weather conditions can lead to pods shattering, university researchers said.

Wet conditions favor the fungal pathogens causing common stalk rot diseases in corn, a plant pathologist said.

Without proper management, weeds will eventually develop resistance to common herbicide modes of action, the United Soybean Board said.

Fall tillage or a good herbicide program can help control these weeds that germinate in the fall, the Hefty brothers said.

Producers could see a 30 to 40 cent increase in corn prices, a grain marketing specialist said.

This perennial weed tends to show up where there’s poor drainage, Brian and Darren Hefty said.
