Dry conditions and limited herbicide supplies crippled many farmers’ weed-control efforts this year, setting up a perfect storm for weeds and grasses next season. Here are five ways to take charge of the situation.
Harvest is wrapping up for the Farm Journal Test Plots. Ken Ferrie shares preliminary observations on soybean planting date, 15" versus 30" rows, sulfur products, corn planter fertility and corn fungicide plots.
The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service announces the Federal Grain and Inspection Service will publish a proposed rule seeking public comment on whether to make changes to U.S. grading standards for soybeans.
If conditions are good in your area, you won’t have wheel tracks or ruts to deal with. However, you do need to think about a winter burndown to keep fields clean before planting next spring.
Ending hunger worldwide may sound like a dream, but researchers at the University of Illinois are making great strides in turning that wish into a reality through the genetic engineering of plants.
Results are also in from some corn teaching plots planted at the Heyworth, Ill., campus, including four starter plots, a series of sulfur timing plots, plus nitrogen and planting population plots.
With even more extensive testing in Arkansas and Tennessee this past year, the company says they are finding a sweet spot for product performance particularly in the mid-south.
Ahead of the report, analysts expected a drop in corn yield, but not soybean yield — and the market responded quickly, says Bill Biedermann, AgMarket.Net co-founder.
Wet weather brought a myriad of problems in 2019. Aside from planting and harvest delays, it helped spread diseases, many of which could show up again in 2020.
Farmers will need to sift through their production data from this year carefully to see what they need to change or keep the same.
A team of researchers is working to introduce genes that increase the genetic diversity of the plant and allow it to produce higher levels of oil, which could then be introduced in crops that don’t produce oil today.
InnerPlant is currently developing transgenic soybeans that display a color change within several days of being infected by a disease.
By Nayara Figueiredo SAO PAULO, Feb 22 (Reuters) - U.S. grains merchant Archer-Daniels-Midland Co said on Tuesday it has carried out the largest soybean shipment in the history of the Ponta da Montanha

Winter annual weeds will impact future plantings though. They act as alternate hosts for pests, impact soil temperature and can sequester moisture and nutrients from future crops.
Today a panel of judges for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said it will not require vacatur for Enlist Duo herbicide. The herbicide, with 2,4-D choline and glyphosate, was challenged in court.
Bayer is committed to marketing Roundup. At the same time, the company plans to reduce the environmental impact of crop protection products globally by 30% by developing new technologies for farmers’ use.
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.
Corn subjected to heavy rainfall can still deliver a significant yield response to a nitrogen application -- in some cases, up to 60 bu.
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.
Researchers analyzed several factors leading to soybean yield loss in a 26-year herbicide study conducted across the state of Illinois.
Getting the crop planted is just the start of the battle.
Corn and soybeans in good-to-excellent condition fell a few percentage points in the last week.
This past year, prevent plant acres soared to a new record of 20 million. What that number fails to account for are the acres that did get planted but maybe shouldn’t have, and what field conditions mean for 2020.
A “catastrophic” grain bin failure in La Grange, Mo., on Monday morning lead to road closures as thousands of bushels of grain spilled from the structure.
BASF and Bosch are developing new technology for weed management. Their system photographs weeds, signals nozzles to spray and records the data in milliseconds. Farmers then get a map printout for easy reference.
Shawn Conley is mad for soybeans: “It’s a crop with more moving parts than anyone except a farmer realizes, and there are so many nuances to work on that have yet to be explored.”
In 2020, Pat Duncanson began a three-year march toward organic certification on 100 acres of corn and soybean ground. After a weed honeymoon, weeds rebounded in 2021, and Duncanson brought in a chopping crew.
Janna Fritz, newly named DF Seeds president, speaks to the need for both conventional and specialty seed products that can fuel farmer profitability and also meet consumer wants and needs.
On August 22, fire departments in and around Moravia, Iowa responded to a grain bin entrapment. The man who was trapped, along with those who rescued him, explain everything they did to successfully rescue Wilson.
