Crop
Scouting As pests continue to become more threatening in crop production, an effective crop scouting program can eliminate some risks associated with yield loss due to unwanted pests. Correct timing of applications can be very crucial for the effectiveness of the application, which can dramatically affect yield and profits. Nutrient deficiencies can also be visually detected to allow corrections for current or future crops. We have qualified crop scouts that can assist you with all of your crop scouting needs. All scouting is done site-specific, which means any type of infestation will be geo-referenced for treatments or analyzing the impact on yield. Detailed reports/maps are provided after each field visit. Below are some examples of our scouting reports.
Iowa Soybean Association FarmNet Scouting Project Finally, pest management is both an economic and environmental issue for Iowa’s crop producers. To help growers track disease and insects as they occur in the state, the On-Farm Network’s Crop Scouting project gives weekly updates from corn, soybean and alfalfa fields around the state. Pages show scouting notes as well as aerial field imagery and a state map showing occurrence of each specific pest. You will find weekly field scouting reports from more than 200 corn, soybean and alfalfa fields around Iowa. Independent professional crop advisors drawn from the membership of the Iowa Independent Crop Consultants Association (IICCA) have agreed to visit the same fields at least once a week throughout the growing season. Our findings will appear HERE as soon as they are submitted, giving you up-to-the minute insect and disease information for those sites. A discussion board is open for your comments and questions on the website as well. We will be scouting fields in Kossuth, Winnebego, Cerro Gordo, Franklin, and Hancock Counties. This is an excellent tool for producers to track pests as they move across the state, and we encourage you to use it to your advantage. Feel free to call if you have any questions regarding the FarmNet Scouting Project.
