As we get further into May, itโ€™s important to understand hybrid growing degree day compression and not pulling the trigger too soon on switching maturities. @PurdueAgryExt @PurdueAgronomy @PurdueAg @PurdueExtension farmprogress.com/corn/corn-pโ€ฆ

It's a question many of us are trying to figure out: "What makes yield?" In our last episode, we sat down with @purduecorn to get his take on what is most important for maximizing your yield. Find out now: bit.ly/4e2BGKt

This week, our lab participated in an Airtable workshop led by Adam Shanks @PurdueExtension. A hands-on session to improve how we manage and share research data across projects. Using Airtable? Weโ€™d like to hear how you apply it. If not, itโ€™s a tool worth exploring.
