Eastern Nebraska Crop Report 11/2/11

Posted on by

Temperatures have been above average up to this point but are expected to plummet today as a rain/snow mix is forecast. Harvest is quickly wrapping up. Soil conditions are on the dryside and still reaching the 60s, but a few growers have started applying anhydrous. Quite a bit of fall tillage has already been done and many corn stalks are being bailed. Remember to account for nutrient loss when removing stalks.

Most of the harvesting in the southwest corner of the state has finished, and growers are trying to get as much fieldwork finished before the ground freezes. Much of the ground that was not able to be planted or drowned out this spring is able to be worked now, so everyone is trying to get through as much as they can to prepare it for next year’s crops.

This week we finished taking out the last corn plot and Latham® Hi-Tech Hybrids really shined. Out of 41 entries, the top 6 were all Latham products including LH 4568 VT3 Pro and LH 4227 VT2 Pro. Place your orders now while these products are still available!

Corn: Harvest is wrapping up quickly. Corn harvest is 95% complete in this area, and fall tillage is well underway. It looks like weather is going to cooperate with some good opportunities to get fertilizer and some needed fall work done. Overall, producers are happy with yields, test weights and performance of corn in the area. Weather events were huge in certain areas and created some harvest challenges. Planning ahead for next year is proceeding very fast with great products and options available for 2012.

Soybeans: With harvest complete, producers are looking ahead to next year. The area had very good yields and performance with above-average production for the second year in a row. As you finalize your soybean seed selection for 2012, I recommend:

  1. Plant 100% of Latham® RR2Y Soybeans on your acres next year.
  2. Place and select varieties on a field-by-field basis. (I’ll be glad to help with placement!)
  3. Treat all your soybean seed with SoyShield and/or SoyShield Plus.

These are the first steps in producing consistent 60- and 70-bushel yields on your soybean acres.
