Go Or No Go? 3 Considerations For Planting Decisions And Emergence Watchouts
When variable weather across the corn belt strikes, the pressure to know when planting conditions are right for your operation weighs heavy. Do you go or do you wait? What do you really need to be accounting for as you weigh the factors to make that decision? Precision Agronomist Erika Parker shares three considerations for […]
Does Organic Matter, Matter?
Four Keys to Unlock Potential with Nitrogen Management As growers, we can often find ourselves in conversations bragging about how much — or lamenting about how little — organic matter we have based on our soil testing reports. While the importance of organic matter is generally understood, we continue to struggle as an industry to […]
Getting to the Point of Soil Sampling – What is standard sampling missing that could be costing you?
Historically, the precision ag industry has not done a great job articulating the value of site-specific soil testing. The utility of the process has never been well defined. Grid sampling, most commonly done in 2.5 acre grids, was introduced in the mid 1990s. This was before the advent of yield monitors and with the goal […]
Six Keys to Writing A Winning Corn Recommendation

Winning coaches put their players in a position to succeed by building a game plan to take advantage of their talents and address their shortcomings. It’s no different when it comes to achieving high […]
Running To The Recommendation
Running to the Recommendation Why jumping straight into prescription writing without proper analysis and understanding of outcome can be costly What were the outcomes from the year? As you reflect on the growing season, how do you measure success? Is it measuring overall yield improvement over last year or perhaps the year that was most […]
Spatial Critical Fertilizer – A Dynamic Approach to Phosphorus & Potassium
For several decades, Midwest agronomists and farmers alike have used a standard rule for managing nutrient concentration levels in their soils. This rule of management has primarily been influenced by utilizing various state or university guidelines. These guidelines have been widely adopted across much of the United States to manage soil fertility on a field-by-field […]
Isolating the Mechanism: Top Dieback in Corn
At Advanced Agrilytics, we seek to understand the environment first and isolate the underlying mechanism that influences potential productivity. We’ve spent months walking side-by-side with growers. This time of year, we view yield as an outcome of the time and energy spent in proactively managing the crop during the growing season. At this point in […]
Part Two: Protecting the Crop Factory Through Grain Fill
As we discussed last week, this time of year the growing season can feel similar to reading a book, each chapter building more excitement and anticipation until the final plot line is delivered. We worked hard in the beginning to establish the crop and start what we call the Race to Canopy. The story continued […]
