Corn rootworm is one of the pests that can cause significant yield loss for producers across the Hoegemeyer footprint. Read about the conditions that cause large rootworm populations and management recommendations for next season.

Follow these four steps to make the right choice and get the right seed for your farm.

Harvest is off to an early start here in Nebraska with the majority of soybeans combined and most producers at least started on corn.  Let's take a look at some key Hoegemeyer products that are yielding well in our Western footprint.

This year has been a mixed year for our summer row crops. Across the southern region, (Kansas), areas have experienced drought, more than usual rainfall, heat, wind, early freeze, and disease. Here are a few things I have noticed while out looking at fields and talking with other agronomists in the region to consider while prioritizing which fields to harvest.

Many of us in the Western Corn Belt will soon be in the field harvesting our corn.  The question many have is: How will this drought affect our test weight?  There are many factors that affect corn yield, one major factor is test weight. 

It's difficult to determine when to harvest corn for silage at the right whole plant moisture.  The optimum whole plant moisture for ensiling varies for each hybrid, environment and type of storage structure.

It’s the time of the year when the new seed guides are being distributed. The Hoegemeyer Seed Guide has ratings that give better insight into how products perform against a variety of issues (1-9 scale with 9 being best and 1 being poor).

Corn silage harvest will soon be in full swing in the Western Corn Belt.  Livestock producers should be aware of the potential for excess levels of nitrates due to the prolonged moisture stress, high temperatures and low humidity during this year’s growing season to date.
