Corn & Soybean Harvest Timing, Late Insect Pressure, and AI in Seed Management | Celena Hawkins & Scott Dickey | Ep. #117
Episode 117
Wednesday, 29 July, 2026

Is your farm ready for an early harvest? On this episode of Agronomy Moment, host Wendell Koehn is joined by agronomists Scott Dickey and Celena to discuss why crops across the region are progressing roughly two weeks ahead of schedule this season. Together, they break down the fascinating agronomics behind rapid soybean development and nighttime-driven photo periods, highlighting why crops are moving so quickly through R5 and toward maturity. The team also shares critical late-season scouting advice—from tracking stink bugs and podworms on late-planted soybeans to knowing when it's safe to stop spraying for southern rust on dented corn. Finally, stick around for details on upcoming Becknology Days events, and learn how Beck’s new Seed IQ platform uses AI and field data to help you match the right hybrids to your specific farm management practices. 🌾 Event Announcement: Planning to attend Becknology Days?
