BushelUp | Different Soil and New Insights | 09-01-2026

This week’s Bushel Up comes from our Hastings research site, where we’re running extensive strip trials across 200 acres. The team highlights what we’re evaluating in this environment with hybrids and varieties, nitrogen replications, foliar and in-furrow products, and seed treatments, along with how management can look different under gravity/furrow irrigation versus pivots. We also share a quick field update from what we’re seeing across the area, including how recent weather and disease pressure are influencing crop development and management decisions, plus a reminder to keep scouting and diagnosing issues before making assumptions. Thanks for watching and reach out to your Aurora Cooperative agronomy team if you have questions or want to compare what you’re seeing in your own fields.
