From set up to winter maintenance, you will want to stay on top of grain bag management practices to make sure the storage system is successful. Here are eight ways to do that:
On Sept. 30 Macon County Sheriffs in central Illinois had unique task of rounding up a camel.
Nine of the 18 states that produce 92% of the U.S. corn crop are projected to have record corn yields this year.
The Substation Fire in Oregon quickly turned those hopes into fear, as the flames threatened wheat, livestock and homes in its way. It’s a fire that’s already destroyed homes and burned 80 square miles of wheat.
Several inches of rain are expected from western Texas into Minnesota over the next five days.
Diversifying his operation and including manure management put him on the road to regenerative agriculture. Today these practices provide him with premiums and new commodity sales potential.
September soybean futures topped $10 on Friday, but with a large crop on the way, are these prices as good as it gets? U.S. Farm Report analysts discuss on U.S. Farm Report.
To provide additional options to farmers, BASF recently acquired L-glufosinate ammonium from AgriMetis.
The agency announced its interim decision regarding these herbicides Friday, answering questions for farmers across the U.S. as atrazine is the No. 2 most used herbicide.
In an exclusive licensing agreement, BASF will launch the brand Xitavo soybean seed by MS Technologies. All 19 of the new varieties feature Enlist E3 technology and will be available 2021 and beyond.
With drought comes yield and grain quality concerns. Here’s what you need to know about what drought does in corn, and what you should expect at harvest. Stay tuned for a soybean update later this week.
While early estimates point to derecho damage in Iowa impacting 10 million acres, some analysts say it may not be enough to make a large dent in the national corn supply scenario this year.
USDA reports this week it expects more than 9 million acres of prevent plant for 2020. This comes during a time when the department is calling for record yields for the corn and soybean crops.
If you start to notice more stress in your plants, especially corn, check for spider mites with a magnifying glass. If left unchecked, they can kill leaves and reduce photosynthetic capabilities of plants.
Wheat harvest is kicking off in major wheat growing areas, while wrapping up in the South. As combines roll, growers are facing below break-even prices, even with the recent Chinese buying spree.
It takes 10 to 12 years and around $300 million to bring a new pesticide, including herbicides, fungicides or insecticides, to market.
With corn pollination over for much of the crop, it’s time to start scouting for ear count and pollination success. In some areas, drought, wind and other challenges might mean ear counts are lower than expected.
The basis of yield starts with genetics. Scientists use advanced systems to improve genetics rapidly and target specific defenses for the changing agricultural landscape.
Bayer has withdrawn a motion to settle lawsuits related to its Roundup herbicide after the judge in the case questioned provisions of the agreement that would have created a scientific review panel.
Manufacturers are seeking 2021 registration, meanwhile off-target damage is reaching high levels. According to experts, Iowa is seeing the most extensive damage since the 1960s when the herbicide was first introduced.
As weed escapes seem to become more prevalent, and the debate over herbicides continues to run rampant, John Phipps thinks the best weed fighting tool may come in the form of iron.
John Phipps says until recently, the idea of reviving ways to idle acres was looking less unthinkable. With growing crop supplies, the revival of a set-aside program is now entering the conversation again.
With a decision still reverberating through farm country, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit vacated three over-the-top dicamba registrations. Now, plaintiffs have set their sights on Enlist Duo herbicide.
As farmers wait for the 9th Circuit Court’s next move, plaintiffs in the dicamba case say EPA going against the court and issuing its own guidance proves EPA is working for chemical companies, not farmers.
Today on Farm Journal Live: the latest on the court decision rescinding the label for dicamba from Sonja Begemann and Ken Ferrie and an update on China trade from Senator Chuck Grassley.
On the heels of the decision to remove registrations for Engenia, FeXapan and XtendiMax herbicides, states—and ultimately, farmers are waiting for EPA to provide guidance.
Meteorologist Cindi Clawson says her 30-day precipitation forecast shows moisture continuing to drop in, which is good news for crops during the heat of the growing season.
Mother Nature always allows weed seeds to find a way, even without human help. Whether it’s wind, water or even ducks and geese, weeds will find their way.
If you could improve your soil health and increase your profit at the end of the season, would you do it? Kind of a no brainer, right?
According to USDA Meteorologist Brad Rippey, the May freeze was one for the record books, but slow emergence in corn could help save some of the crop from major damage.
