Crops
Thanks to technology, the days of choosing one farming system for your entire operation are gone.
Evaluate your fleet to implement multiple production systems and capitalize on fieldwork windows.
Varying production methods, as well as inputs, complete your transition into precision farming
The ability to switch between vertical tillage and no-till or strip-till can boost yield and help cope with weather
Managing multiple production systems is the last step to precision farming
Multiple production systems provide options for tough years such as 2019
Nitrogen is often the most limiting factor when it comes to crop productivity.
You can’t always predict the weather; but you can put plans in place so you’re ready to plant in all conditions.
FFA students searching for success can learn from Oklahoma’s Raegan Klaassen and her well-traveled path to the 2021 National Star Farmer stage in Indianapolis.
More than 4,000 growers and applicators have already completed Bayer-led dicamba training for 2023, which outpaces previous seasons and shows that growers continue to prioritize this technology.
With higher-than-average costs and spring planting on the horizon, farmers are locking in their 2023 input needs.
This week, a Brazil-based consultancy cut its soybean production estimate for the country by 2.1 million metric tons. Between Brazil and Argentina’s drought-impacted crops, the situation has the market’s attention.
As U.S. soybean processing expands, it’s vital to create new outlets for all the additional soybean meal. One such outlet could be Morocco.
With two recent announcements the EPA has approved labels for over-the-top dicamba applications (XtendiMax, Engenia and Tavium herbicides) in 2023 in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota.
Early projections show a clear trend of higher input costs for 2023. Are these projections causing you to lock in inputs sooner or later? Take our poll!
While Beijing denies the balloon that flew over the U.S. in early February was a government spy vessel, market analysts warn farmers the situation could ultimately impact export demand down the road.
With the expansion of the U.S. soybean processing industry due to the push for green fuels farmers are looking for a new home for the extra meal...and they’re finding it in Morocco.
Morocco has a vibrant and growing protein sector, which presents an opportunity for increased sales of U.S. soybeans and meal.
A young, growing population with an appetite for protein presents an opportunity for soybean meal, in particular.
To combat volatile weather, mitigate rising input costs and meet agronomic goals, producers are making choices geared toward soil health. Here are insights and tips from three of those producers.
The first-of-its-kind biotech trait is commercially available to farmers as Bollgard 3 ThryvOn cotton with XtendFlex Technology – just in time for the 2023 production season.
Volatility was the theme on Friday. Between Russia announcing plans to cut oil production, hot and dry weather in Argentina, as well as Russia’s escalation of the war in Ukraine, commodity prices shot higher.
If you’re looking to replace some of your nitrogen this season, urea is an option. Volatility will be one of the things to address.
The Nutrient Navigator series focuses on efficient, environmentally sound management of nutrients. The goal is to provide practical knowledge that helps drive yields and profits higher.
Once you confirm the diagnosis, here’s how to handle iron problems
Iron, a vital element for crop production, is like some people—laced with contradictions.
Copper and molybdenum are easy to manage if you know how to identify deficiencies
Problems can be avoided, or easily fixed, once you understand this secondary nutrient.
From photosynthesis to building carbohydrates, manganese packs a punch
Zinc deficiency—which can easily cost 15 bu. to 20 bu. of corn per acre—is not something you can walk into a field and diagnose
