Wheat Pete's Word, July 3: Lodged cereals, headland trouble, tar spot scouting, and canopy closure

How much does lodging affect yield? It all depends on when the crop goes down.
Evidence of that is showing up on Ontario yield monitors in the winter barley fields and will be coming to a wheat field near you in the coming week, says Peter Johnson, host of Wheat Pete's Word.
The other thing showing up is the impact of compaction, especially on headlands. Compaction leads to stunted, struggling roots and the evidence of that in the corn crop is staggering. Will the crop recover? What's the plan for decreasing compaction? Check out that discussion and much more, below!
