Spray Drift Damage Victim?

June 27th, 2025

Congratulations to all of this year's graduates!

Another week, another forecast that didn’t quite deliver. We’ve been seeing those scattered 0–2 mm predictions pop up, but in most cases, it’s barely been enough to dampen the sidewalk — let alone make a difference in the field. Crops are still holding their own for now, however, a meaningful rain would go a long way as rooting continues deeper. Perhaps we will see some moisture with this weekend's forecast.

As always, if you’re seeing anything unusual or just want a second opinion, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to stop by and have a look.

Have a great weekend,

Bru, Jenn and the team at Antara Agronomy

Crop Talk

Herbicide applications are mostly wrapped up, with just the odd second pass happening in corn or soybeans. Be sure to keep any reseeded acres in mind when planning that second spray—those fields are a bit behind and may still be in the ideal window.

Looking ahead, fungicide timing is coming up quickly for many crops. A lot of fields are expected to hit that window over the next 7–10 days, so now’s a good time to be scouting and planning ahead.

Cereal Crops
Cereals are looking solid overall, but dry conditions are starting to show, especially in fields that missed the bigger rains. As of now, there’s little to no leaf disease pressure, but stay on alert as the fungicide window approaches.

Canola Watch

It’s been fairly quiet in the canola this week. No flea beetle pressure to speak of anymore, and most fields are now bolting or starting to flower. A few adult Diamondback moths have been observed in the canola, so be ready to watch for the window pane damage the larva cause on the leaves.

Bean Talk
Many soybean fields are just beginning to flower, marking an important stage as we move into reproductive growth. Keep an eye on staging and field variability, especially in spots that struggled with crusting or emergence early on.

Corn Progress

Some fields are well on their way and should hit that old benchmark of “knee-high by July,” while others — especially those that struggled with emergence or cooler starts — are lagging behind.

Question of the Week:

Do we need to worry about spraying the flag leaf of our cereals?
