The third leg of the road show is in the bin! For this round, we bounced back and forth between York and Lancaster County PA, and Harford and Baltimore County MD. Planting pace got off to an aggressive start the second week of April, with soil surface temperatures exceeding 70 degrees, but quickly dropped 20 degrees to stay below average through May 15th. This, in combination with drought-like conditions, caused some variability in emergence time and final plant stands.

Overall, with late July rains, the corn crop has rebounded to look well above average. We did notice some tip back in a few fields, as well as a wide range in harvestable ears vs. final plant stand. Like our previous stops- disease was limited with just some GLS. W**d pressure was almost nonexistent. One overlying theme from farmer conversations was keeping potash and sulfur rates consistent but scaling back phosphates on higher testing soils.

Site 1: 200 bu.
Site 2: 211 bu.
Site 3: 178 bu.
Site 4: 197 bu.
Site 5: 230 bu.
Site 6: 176 bu.

Thank you to our customers for allowing us to visit and share your insights! Our last stops are next week in Northern Pennsylvania!

The second leg of the Road Show is in the bin! We started in Warren County, New Jersey and ended in Salem County, New Jersey for nearly a 400-mile round trip. “The Garden State” is alive and strong, with a diverse crop mix that ranks near the top for a few well-known vegetables:
Asparagus: #2 in the U.S , 6.1 million lbs. produced on ~1900 acres
Tomatoes: #3 in the U.S, 60 million lbs. produces on ~2500 acres
Bell Peppers: #4 in the U.S, 94.8 million lbs. produced on ~ 2500 acres

Corn is on its way to a bumper crop with a strong finish in site. Many farmers noted the weather was on their side this year, being dry at the right times and getting rain at the right times as well. Some irrigation pivots were turned off in the central part of the state. Most farmers decided to tighten up their input programs; scaling back second pass nitrogen, cutting out fungicide applications at tassel, and lowering plant populations. Disease was nearly non-existent, but some SDS and BSR were starting to show in soybeans.

North Jersey Non-Irrigated: 244 bu, 297.5 bu, 225.7 bu
Central Jersey Non-Irrigated: 260 bu
South Jersey Non-Irrigated: 171 bu, 183 bu

The first leg of the Road Show is in the bin! We made a trip to Southern Maryland, crossed the Potomac into southern Virginia. The overall theme of the trip is how well the corn looks for how dry it’s been.

Anne Arundel County MD (Jan.-June): 7.15 inches of rain below normal, 5th driest on record

St. Mary's County MD (Jan.-June): 8 inches below normal, 2nd driest on record

Culpeper County VA (Jan-June)- 6.2 inches below normal, 21st driest on record

Farmers we visited highlighted nitrogen efficiency, biological implementation, hybrid selection + seed quality, and late season micronutrients as a focus for 2026. Two sites we visited held off their Amidas topdress until rain was put in the forecast in early July and skipped their usual late season fungicide pass. One farm field should finish above 260 bu., with less than 100 units of nitrogen applied. 20-inch row corn had impressive late season plant health. Combines should be rolling through the earlier corn in the next 10 days!

Site 1- 214.5 bu.

Site 2- 189.51 bu

Site 3- 163.55 bu

Site 4- 156.83 bu

Site 5- 239 bu

Site 6-193.77 bu
