Our EarthOptics Customer Success Lead, Kristin, answers a question we hear often: How many cores do we typically take per sample? The answer depends. See what Kristin says.

Gibberella stalk rot weakens corn from the inside, and this fall’s winds made the damage obvious. Our 2026 risk map showed the heaviest pressure in eastern Nebraska, with elevated risk into northwest Missouri and western Illinois.

When stalks are already compromised, standability depends on the weather. A TruBio soil test tells you whether Gibberella is present in your fields, so hybrid selection and residue management for next year start from real data.

James Clement, our Chief Growth Officer and President of Grass and Rangeland, is keynoting the BCarbon Soil Carbon Summit on November 4th in Houston, Texas.

Soil carbon measurement is only as good as the data behind it, and James will lead that conversation.

Check out the summit information here: https://bcarbon.org/soil-carbon-summit-2026, and if you're already planning on attending, stop by and say hi!

This fall has been tough. Many of you are seeing stalk rot, downed corn after strong winds, and soybean disease you didn’t expect at this level.

Nothing will change this harvest, and we won’t pretend otherwise. We can say this much: the pathogens behind a lot of this season’s losses were already in the soil. Last winter, our risk maps built from fall 2025 field samples showed elevated pressure for Sudden Death Syndrome, Fusarium, Cercospora, Anthracnose, and Gibberella stalk rot across much of the Midwest.

You can’t control the weather. You can know what’s in your fields before you make your next seed, hybrid, and management decisions.

Ever wonder what happens to your soil after you send it in? Here's the process.

Our field technicians or partner samplers collect soil samples using step probes and meter cores, with optional GroundOwl sensor data. We then ship samples to our labs in Emeryville, CA, and Raleigh, NC, or to a certified partner lab for receiving, prep, and analysis. Our team processes and packages the data, and you can view results in your EarthOptics dashboard.

Austin Koch, Senior Agronomy Sales Manager at EarthOptics, walks through a field where a TruBio test showed high stalk rot risk before planting. That result led to an in-furrow biofungicide, and the risk played out this fall. After weeks of strong wind, the treated corn is still standing and the untreated check is starting to crack.

Want to know your disease risk before next season? Reach out to us or talk to your local EarthOptics dealer to get started with TruBio.

A sunny fall day in the field with EarthOptics. ☀️

Our team shared a few videos from sampling this freshly cleared ground. Pairing physical cores with GroundOwl sensing gives you a high-resolution view of your field and more soil data delivered to your dashboard. If you are through harvest and your fields are clear, now is a great time to test your field and use that data to start planning for next season.
