Strong soil nitrates, stripe rust surges, and drowned-out fields | Wheat Pete's Word, June 10

It's early June, and the west and the east are a tale of extremes: dry soils and surprisingly strong nitrogen levels in Ontario, flooding in parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, drought concerns in the U.S., and plenty of crop management questions in between. From late-season phosphorus responses in wheat to stripe rust explosions, compaction concerns, cereal leaf beetle pressure, and soybean fertility myths, there’s no shortage of agronomy answers in this episode of Wheat Pete's Word. Pete also tackles practical questions on corn residue management, strip-till fertility placement, winter canola risks, and whether current soil nitrate tests suggest growers should spend more—or perhaps less—on corn nitrogen this season.
