Are your corn hybrids undergoing stress 10 to 15 days before black layer and experiencing top kill? That’s going to hurt kernel depth and knock off those top-end yields you want to combine.
When taking trucks and equipment out of storage prior to harvest, assume every tire needs air.
EPA believes the current pesticide approval system has major “unsustainable and legally tenuous” setbacks. Courts currently dictate ESA cases for the EPA, but this new workplan will allow the Agency to work alone.

USDA’s crop production report showed an increase in soybean yields, but a lower national corn yield. Analysts say Pro Farmer Crop Tour next will reveal more answers about this year’s crops and could be a market mover.
Another surprise -- corn acres climbed rather than fell versus March intentions.
USDA’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates for January reflect higher ending stocks for both corn and soybeans.
After all the hoopla about this morning’s USDA reports, we know one thing: They are outdated and they will change. Let’s look beyond the published numbers.
Russia’s Blizzard of the Century Is a Blessing for Wheat Fields
When the January crop production and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WADSE) reports were released, U.S. Farm Report conducted a Twitter poll to see how, if at all, farmers would adjust their planting intentions for the spring after corn yielded a record high 176.1 bushels per acre.
The trade is trying to figure out just how much corn will get harvested this year, which Pro Farmer’s Brian Grete is calling the “impossible puzzle.”

With a warmer winter across much of the U.S., winter wheat might be greening up sooner than typical. As it greens up, so do dormant weeds or newly sprouting weeds and some insect pests.
Corn subjected to heavy rainfall can still deliver a significant yield response to a nitrogen application -- in some cases, up to 60 bu.
As ag retailers continue to navigate a turbulent supply scenario for planting season, FBN says their glyphosate supplies are in a “comfortable” position. The company explains how they were able to secure supplies.
Glyphosate was already in short supply heading into the 2022 planting season, but another black swan event is putting an even tighter squeeze on supplies.
Cover crops may hold the key to fighting weeds, even during the growing season.
Bayer’s Louisiana glyphosate plant is back online, but the glyphosate shortage is industry wide as one Extension weed scientist says growers need to make multiple crop chemistry plans for the next two years.
By digging through the thousands of data sets, a team at the University of Illinois and ARS uncovered it’s not just climate making weed control hard, but late season weed pressure has a devastating impact on corn yield.

The company says a U.S. judge’s rejection of its class-action proposal will have no impact on its commitment to Roundup or Roundup Ready and their availability for farmers and retailers.
This three-way premix features S-metolachlor, metribuzin and cloransulam-methyl. The formulation controls 70 small- and large-seeded broadleaf weeds and grasses, including Palmer amaranth, waterhemp and lambsquarters.
It’s called the “king of weeds” and can be resistant to common herbicides, but before you can fight it you have to be able to identify it.
Researchers analyzed several factors leading to soybean yield loss in a 26-year herbicide study conducted across the state of Illinois.
Maverick features three modes of action and application flexibility to help growers address tough weeds, including waterhemp, Palmer amaranth and marestail, and annual grasses.
In order to get ahead of weeds, you need to know what weeds you’re up against. There are several weed identifying apps available, but how accurate are they? Researchers at MSU have the answers.
