Soil Consulting and Crop Consulting in Illinois. You may call it soil testing, soil sampling, or soil health management, but it is more than that. These are my daily or weekly travels in soil and crop consulting and my observations in the agricultural world.

Should you spray fungicide on your corn
This is not one of my most timely posts, but I know some of you are still making fungicide decisions especially to the north. No-till Farmer sent out Five Answers to using Foliar Fungicides in Corn. The information is good for helping to decide. Really the overriding factors are Susceptibility and disease pressure. I don't think it is an issue this year, but they say there is not an economic benefit to using fungicide for drought resistance. Obviously you will need a better yield bump for $3 corn than for $8 corn. Also keep in mind that fungcides are only effective for a limited number of sprayings, so you might want to save it for when you really need it.
