ow to Prioritize Corn Harvest: Stalk Push Tests & Nitrogen Loss Risk | Celena Hawkins | Ep. #118
Header loss and down corn can quickly destroy your late-season profitability. On today's episode, we step out into the field to discuss how to evaluate stalk strength before the combines roll.
Learn why nitrogen-deficient corn cannibalizes its own stalk to fill the ear, how crown rot disease impacts late-season intactness, and how to build a strategic field-by-field harvest plan that protects your grain quality and operational efficiency.
Inside this episode:
Moving past planting-date assumptions during fall planning
Identifying cannibalized stalks in low, saturated field spots

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