Corn's unexpected turnaround predicted by Gro

Last year, Gro Intelligence made a bold prediction about corn yields. Their prediction was lower than most other estimates, but it turned out to be more accurate. 

This highlights Gro's unique strength: melding data analytics with traditional farming wisdom. 2023 started with its fair share of farming challenges, from drought conditions to inconsistencies, casting shadows of doubt over the corn yield. 

Yet, Gro Intelligence offers a ray of hope. Their recent Digital Yield Tour pegged the corn yield at a promising 177.0 bpa as of Aug. 8. Particularly noteworthy were the yield numbers for Illinois (197.3 bpa) and Nebraska (189.5 bpa) - states that had difficult beginnings to the crop season. 

These numbers are better than expected and suggest that we could have a record corn yield this year. With everyone eagerly awaiting USDA's in-depth reports for a clearer picture, Gro's data-driven insights stand as a beacon of accuracy and optimism. 

Gro Intelligence's method of combining data analysis with on-the-ground knowledge is the best way to predict crop yields in modern agriculture.

Creating Pollinator Habitat From Farmland

Video: Creating Pollinator Habitat From Farmland

Why did we turn this land in to pollinator habitat? We we rented this farm consisting of six fields this 23 acres was the most challenging. Nine acres of is a large sandhill with trees all along the North edge. Most years it wouldn't produce very much grain at all. So when we bought this farm we decided it was time to take that hill out of production and put it to good use. So we seeded it to pollinator habitat. Here's a look at it three years in, and it's looking better every year. There's a strong marestail seedbank out there, but the pollinator species are beating it back a little more each year. The grasses have really come on strong this year. And we have a neighbor who keeps some beehives on the habitat. Hope you enjoy taking a tour of our pollinator habitat!
