Crop Tour 2025 Recap: Chip Flory on Corn & Soybean Yields, Disease Pressure & Market Impact

The Pro Farmer Crop Tour 2025 is underway — and Nebraska is once again in the spotlight. What are scouts finding in the fields? How do irrigated acres change the yield story? And what disease pressures could limit top-end production this season?

In this episode of Grain IQ, host Chad Moyer sits down with Chip Flory, leader of the western leg of the Crop Tour, to break down:

- Why the 2025 Crop Tour is different from past years
- Nebraska’s unique role with irrigated vs. dryland acres
- Early signs of yield potential across the Corn Belt
- Disease concerns like southern rust, gray leaf spot, and tar spot
- How scouts collect samples and what farmers share from the field
- Stories from the road (yes, even the tenderloin specials in Burt, Nebraska!)

👉 Whether you’re a farmer, grain trader, or ag industry watcher, this inside look at the Crop Tour will give you context to make better grain marketing decisions this harvest season.
