Chart shows the GDP of the world in 2021. The US is still the largest economy. India has so much room to grow. It's just a matter of time until it reaches Chinese dimensions. Source: buff.ly/3H0qc6u

Makes you wonder why shops in the Toronto Airport are open while the rest of Ontario is locked down. Tee-shirt, soaps, electonics.

Bees are doing well. You can hear them humming. You may need headphones.

DONcast-corn is being developed and validated, maybe for 2021. Current humid/wet/30C in the green silking phase is very similar to 2018. Perhaps consider a fungicide to reduce DON by 50% max on susceptible hybrids? BTW, some fungicides have zero effect on DON.

With the recent rain events, fog, morning dews and corn flowering - a fungicide application to manage DON in corn may be prudent. Refer to the Maizex Seed Guide for response to fungicide if choosing hybrids. #maizex
