Planting progress varies across the Midwest and Delta. While many farmers are finished with corn and soybeans, others have been rained out for weeks.

As farmers work to get the 2025 crop in the ground, Corteva Agriscience Market Development Specialist Chris Kluemke says it's important to get off to the best start possible this spring. He tells Brownfield there are many nitrogen decisions yet to be made as conditions vary across the Corn Belt.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With more than 65% of U.S. soybean acres planted to Enlist E3 soybeans, farmers across the country have found great success with the Enlist weed control system from Corteva Agriscience. Nebraska farmer Grady Johnson, owner at 37-Ag, tells Brownfield he's switched to Enlist E3® soybeans and is excited about his weed control program for the 2025 season.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As growers begin applying Enlist herbicides this spring, Corteva Agriscience Market Development Specialist, Scott Pringnitz, says there are several ways to get the most out of each trip across the field. He notes that one of the major advantages of Enlist is its superior tank mix flexibility, particularly with Enlist One.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A new Farm Bureau report shows that in 2023, just 23% of farm household income came from the farm itself. The remaining 77% came from off-farm sources like wages, investments, and retirement income—making these “other paychecks” essential to keeping farmers afloat.

Last week, we discussed prepping equipment for herbicide applications, and this week, Corteva Agriscience Market Development Specialist, Scott Pringnitz, joins us to discuss what farmers should check to ensure a successful spray of Enlist herbicides when they are ready to head to the field.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Spring fieldwork is ramping up across the Midwest, and David Doonan, who covers western Illinois for Nutrien Ag Solutions, says a large fleet backs their custom application services to ensure growers can cover their acres effectively and efficiently. He tells Brownfield that this enables farmers to seize narrow planting windows with confidence. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Spring fieldwork is in full swing, and many farmers are planting Enlist E3 soybeans, Enlist corn, and Enlist cotton. Corteva Agriscience Market Development Specialist Grant Harms says there are several steps growers should take before applying Enlist herbicides. He tells Brownfield the first step is getting familiar with the label. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Farmers know getting their crops off to a good start is crucial to achieving maximum yield potential. Senior Manager for Plant Nutrition Ron Calhoun with Nutrien Ag Solutions says emergence vigor and stand establishment consistency helps crops emerge and grow at the same rate, ensuring uniformity and the best chance for success.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As another growing season begins, farmers face the daunting task of controlling weeds with herbicide resistance.

Laying a solid foundation is one way to set cornfields up for success this year.

He tells Brownfield, farmers can recalibrate this season to give young corn seedlings a healthy environment to thrive.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Planning is a key component to staying ahead of weeds.

Corteva Agriscience Nitrogen Stabilizers Strategic Account Manager, Jon Stoffer, tells Brownfield one of those is nitrogen applications, especially on corn, to help the crop get the best start possible.

The cornerstone of the agbioscience economy is production agriculture. Without farmers, no amount of agtech, animal health, or plant science would ever be applicable to feed and fuel this world. Today we are joined by Leah Anderson, SVP of Land O'Lakes and president of WinField United, to talk about her drive and motivation to help the farmer – and putting it into action. Key Takeaways: The farmer perspective headed into harvest including some stress surrounding commodity prices, input costs and declines in farm income levels. Challenges for Land O'Lakes and WinField United ahead of next growing season – from access to labor and investment decisions – and how they're helping the farmer with those hurdles. Data as a decision driver and the Advanced Acre Rx program as a prescription suite of tools based on a farmer's most pressing individual needs. The cooperative model as a differentiator for farmers and the emerging innovations that have Leah most excited – including AI biologicals and evolving new markets (Carbon, water, etc.).
