Some saving rains in the Carolinas but obviously a stressful year. Near Monroe NC with #Darkwaterwest evaluating an @AgriGold corn hybrid trial. Some promising new hybrids are taking the stress! #grow24 #drought24

Dryland corn trials with no rain. What do we look for? (These images may be disturbing.) Please scout for #CEW #cornearworm no matter your traits. EXP holding its on compared to known #Agrigold stress tolerant hybrids.

Rating a hybrid trial what do we look for? #Xyway continues to impress here not seeing any difference by hybrid. Huge yield potential here at this highly managed #Agrigold hybrid trial at Louisville GA. A look at hybrids in next video

Agrigold Agronomy tests hybrids in difficult environments to provide the best recommendations we can for where you farm. Dry land hybrid trial in AL that has been continuous corn for 16 years. Nice place to test for stress and disease tolerance. #Agrigold #Alabamacorn

Corn ear worm in Double Pro hybrids in South Alabama. Probably coming to a field near you if you have pollinating corn. Scout for CEW and stink bugs at this time of year in the southeast. #Agrigold #CEW #Grow24.

#plant24 has been a struggle for many across the country. It’s nice to scout some tasseled corn in Florida. #Agrigold #grow24

How does corn “know” when weeds and grasses are present? Your corn definitely does know and it can have a large impact on yield. @AgriGold #plant24.

BTW I am not suggesting that folks plant corn this deep. One purpose of this demo is to reassure folks that you CANNOT plant too deep in May. We bottomed out the JD strip til planter and it looks great.
