2025 field work
- Thread starter BCClone

I think they remove some of the field signs around harvest.
I had also heard that Corteva didn't have a booth at the 2025 Farm Progress this year in Decatur. I may be wrong. If they didn't I can see why now. I also heard some of their hybrids in the area had tassel leaf wrap issues.
I thought farmers were invincible? Maybe not. 200# vs. 2000# is not a good bet.
Zero to 270 at my place. The zero places are smaller this year compared to last year, so that is good.
Pioneer is going no where. It’s the flagship brand. You just can’t call a company Pioneer Hi-Bred and then sell NuTech seed. There are like 6 seed corn brands under corteva
Idk why you’re seeing less field signs. I’m guessing the sales rep just took them down
There's a zero percent chance the Pioneer brand name goes away. The parent company may be called SpinCo, but they will not rebrand.
Pioneer can't go away. I wouldn't have any shirts, jackets or hats to wear if that happened. I like green.
SpinCo is a common placeholder in corporate splits. Google: Comcast SpinCo
I just spoke to my cousin, he farms down in Appanoose County, they just finished up their corn, was getting anywhere from 200 to around 230 an acre. They were starting on beans when I spoke to him tonight. He said they sprayed once and you could see where they hit and where they missed, and wished he had sprayed a second time. People around him that spread twice were getting 260 an acre on their corn.

LOL everyone that farms realizes it is a high risk environment, add livestock to the mix and it just goes up
PS glad the fire wasn't any worse, congrats on getting going so quickly afterwards.
Finished up with beans tonight. Average over 1500 acres was low 80’s. Lowest field average was 76, best was 85. Last year averaged 75. Start corn tomorrow. Looks damn good so excited to see what we find.
Lol @ tassel wrap. Something Pioneer competitors made up. 13777 was supposed to be bad pollination because of tassel wrap. Everything I’ve heard about that number is that it’s crushing it.

Beans a hair above average and corn just hanging in that average area. What the neighbors are saying also. Fast start, then a lot of rain, then a lot of heat, then no rain. So it is understandable.
Would like to know the full story here, looks like there was already fire crew on site, so something must have been already happening.
My only question here is how did that cloud of dust not ignite, when it sparked? Seems lucky that it was not a massive fireball on top of the collapse.

The silo looks like it was concrete? They might have seen cracks in it? Or heard the cracks happen.
Yeah it was concrete it looks like. This happens occasionally. I remember Rake IA elevator (also concrete) collapsing too a decade+ ago.
They also explode occasionally from dust explosions.
Just wish I had a bit more of the story on what happened in this case.
