The Association of Equipment Manfacturers (AEM), in partnership with leading ag groups, has released an updated report detailing the significant benefits of precision agriculture across the United States.
Detailed daily field scans and predictive, AI-powered multispectral imaging capabilities are hitching a ride on a SpaceX rocket launch and will soon be available to field agronomists, grain and commodity traders, and even farmers.
Yes, phosphorus is expensive. But before you decide to not use it or arbitrarily pull back, try to weigh the decision based on facts and not emotion.

The amount of damage that can occur in crops depends largely upon these factors — how cold it gets and for how many hours, and the plants’ stage of development.
Crops in parts of the Corn Belt may have run out of gas with the onset of flash drought. As a result, the crop may be going backward from USDA’s August estimates.
The onset of drought and disease are causing growing concerns about the size of the U.S. corn and soybean crops this year. Analysts caution while the crops may be going backward in terms of yield, it’s possible USDA actually raises its yield estimates in the September report.

Iowa could be the nation’s top state this year for corn and soybeans, but both crops are in a race to beat disease pressure that’s gaining momentum. Illinois corn continues to ride the struggle bus, while the soybean crop there is positioned to deliver high yields.
Marion Calmer is renown for his corn harvesting innovations. The fourth-generation Illinois farmer also has a wealth of practical knowledge about how to take more beans to the bin — and freely shares some of his insights and ideas here.
Elevated levels of the disease are trending currently, and are of ‘serious concern’ over the next eight weeks, say researchers.
One concern cited is that USDA tends to aim too high with its August yield estimates, based on what the data shows from the past decade. The other concern is how strong demand will be, given corn carryover projections.
