Illinois Soybean Association’s Post

Do you know what’s going on in your fields? When we plant it’s hard to say the exact date that you will want to make an in-season pass. This is why we crop scout weekly or bi-weekly to keep a close eye to get the right application timing. When we’re in the field we focus on knowing what pest/diseases are causing problems, as well as, how wide spread the issue is. It’s also important when focusing on ROI to know what your potential yield loss can be if you don’t make an application pass. In soybeans a lot of diseases and pests can appear similar to SDS. Which is why it’s important to accurately diagnose the issue for an effective treatment plan. If you need an extra set of eyes on your fields we still have some availability for this season. Also, Illinois Soybean Association has a great article on some new pests to keep an eye out for. #agronomy #soybean #cropscouting #crophealth #insecticides

As we wrap up this week, we embrace the arrival of the summer solstice, an event that embodies the unity of cultural heritage and centuries-long traditions. The solstice, a significant moment in our yearly cycle, symbolizes the harmony between nature and human culture, marking the longest day of the year. It stands as a testament to our shared cultural history, celebrated across diverse societies and fostering a sense of global togetherness. The United Nations recognizes June 21 as the International Day of the Celebration of the Solstice, highlighting its importance in strengthening social cohesion and mutual respect among peoples. This acknowledgment underscores the solstice's role in uniting various cultural identities through shared rituals and celebrations. The solstice is not just an astronomical event but a reminder of our connection to the earth, agricultural cycles, and the traditions that have shaped human civilization. For businesses and individuals alike, understanding and respecting these cultural milestones is crucial. At Wolfram Chemie, we believe that embracing such traditions can enhance our approach to sustainability and social responsibility. Learn more about the cultural significance of the solstice by reading the full article on the United Nations website.

I am happy to be part of the #TSSS2024. Many have touted the importance of a due diligence process. While traditionally #DueDiligence = Requisite Care (reasonable steps taken by a person to satisfy a legal requirement, especially when buying or selling something), it can be more. We recommend Seafood Supply Chain Due Diligence (#SSCDD) be a systematic, ongoing risk management process that enables companies to proactively address their environmental and human rights impacts and conduct their business in a responsible manner. #FishWise #SeafoodLegacy
