    Crop Talk by IAS – Field Scouting Update | Week of April 7

    Spring is testing patience—and timing could make all the difference.

    In this week’s Crop Talk Field Scouting Update, our IAS agronomy team shares what they’re seeing across the territory after widespread rainfall slows fieldwork. While conditions may have put a pause on progress, this is a critical window for planning, preparation, and making the right calls before wheels hit the field.

    You’ll hear updates from across Iowa, including where fieldwork stands today, what to watch as soils begin to dry, and how to set yourself up for success when the next window opens.

    This week’s highlights:
    • Field conditions remain saturated with 2–4+ inches of recent rainfall across regions
    • Ammonia and dry fertilizer applications nearing completion in some areas
    • Importance of avoiding compaction and not rushing into wet fields
    • Seed planning, inventory checks, and hybrid placement decisions
    • Watching soil temperatures—targeting 50°F and rising before planting
    • Understanding risks like sidewall compaction and uneven emergence
    • Safety reminders when handling insecticides and smart boxes

    As always, these are local, boots-on-the-ground insights to help you make confident decisions—because sometimes the best move right now…is patience.

    Featured agronomists this week include: Nicholas Giessman (Host), Nick Thompson, Melissa Schumann and Owen Heetland
