Crop Talk by IAS – Field Scouting Update | Week of March 31

Spring is waking up—and the window to get ahead is opening fast.

In this week’s Crop Talk Field Scouting Update, our IAS agronomy team shares real-time insights from across the territory as field activity ramps up. From anhydrous application and early planting progress to emerging weeds and burndown strategy, this episode is all about helping you stay one step ahead.

You’ll hear updates from our entire Iowa region—covering what’s happening right now and what to plan for next.

This week’s highlights:

• Anhydrous safety reminders for road transport and application
• Field activity picking up across regions (tillage, fertilizer, early planting)
• Soil conditions drying out and spring work accelerating
• Early weed emergence and burndown timing considerations
• Equipment readiness and input planning ahead of rain delays
• Best practices for effective burndown applications

As always, these are practical, local insights you can use right away—because the best decisions start in your fields.
