Interesting Year in Iowa
Mike Morrison (DSM, Region 5 – Iowa)
With corn harvest starting the first week of August, it’s winding down here in southwest Iowa. What a year! Until late June we had the making of a bumper crop. Then the rain stopped and here came the July and August heat. Many farmers in my area couldn’t believe the “stay green” and plant health of the Producers varieties. I say that’s why research and proprietary genetics bring us hybrids like 7014, 7224, 7394 and 7414.
Overall, 60-150 bushel field averages have caught most of my territory. The beans took advantage of late season rain and range from 30 to mid-50s. This year, with the approval of VT3ProRIB, all corn refuge is in the bag. Remember early order and 12% cash discounts run out by the end of October (October 31). Thanks for your business!
