Don't be misled by CORN GRAIN YIELD TREND LINES based on short time periods. Such trend lines are notoriously unreliable. (Purdue University) @PurdueAgronomy @PurdueAg @PurdueExtension

Especially important with the dry conditions this harvest season!

#Harvest23 is here along with many risks farmers face each year. @PurdueABE's Bill Field reminds farmers to regularly inspect their combine's machinery, fuel lines and electrical systems to prevent fires.

@JdbAgronomy @PurdueAgronomy @PurdueAg A little more background… This trial is on Prairie soils in West Central Indiana. Maximum soybean yields are in the mid to high 70s... surprising yields considering how dry it was the last 30 to 45 days of the season.

@JdbAgronomy @PurdueAgronomy @PurdueAg We used rates of zero, 10, 15, and 20 pounds of sulfur applied sidedress in the 2022 corn crop. This year's yield response by the Soybeans, is particularly evident following the 15 and 20 pound rates from last year, but still there at the 10 pound rate.
