Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Data Behind Better Fungicide ROI
Q: How long has this fungicide timing model been in use and how robust are the ROI results?
Six years of ROI trials across many states show clear advantages over grower timing and untreated checks, with a consistent multi-bushel gain and a strong win-rate that supports its reliability.
Battling White Mold
Q: When do you spray for white mold if you have a field with a history of it?
End of R1 to early R2 is a recommended window to protect the most productive plants and maximize impact, especially in fields with known history.
Climate Signals for the 2026 Growing Season with Meteorologist Don Day
Q: What role do soil moisture and nighttime humidity play in forecasting this year's growing season?
Soil moisture directly affects the amount of moisture available for updrafts and thunderstorm development, while higher nighttime humidity reduces nocturnal temperature drops; together they shape the timing and intensity of rainfall, which in turn influences crop planning and irrigation needs.
Climate Signals for the 2026 Growing Season with Meteorologist Don Day
Q: How does the 2022 Hongotonga eruption influence current forecasts?
The eruption introduced unusual amounts of water vapor into the upper atmosphere, which has disrupted typical teleconnections and reduced confidence in long-range seasonal forecasts over the past several years, contributing to more variability than usual.
Climate Signals for the 2026 Growing Season with Meteorologist Don Day
Q: What is the current state of the Pacific during this winter and what does that imply for spring?
The Pacific is in a negative decadal phase with La Niña lingering or returning, but there is a growing expectation of a shift toward neutral or weak El Niño by late spring to summer, which should modestly increase spring and early summer precipitation chances in the Corn Belt.
