The shifting dynamics of global weather patterns have brought a new layer of complexity to agricultural practices. If you’re in farming, you’ve likely noticed the growing unpredictability of our seasons. Addressing these shifts requires a combination of innovative strategies, practical adaptations, and long-term planning. Our way of life is being tested by increasingly erratic weather ...
Years with lower corn prices lead to many farmers making soybeans a bigger part of their crop plan. The Maximum Farming System® can help make the most of such changes and provide optimal fertilizer management, which varies by crop. For example, corn benefits dramatically from in-furrow fertilization that provides sufficient levels of tissue phosphorus during ...
With 25% market share in soybean fungicides in Brazil, Bayer plans to upgrade this product in 2022 with the launch of Fox Supra, further expanding its leading position in this highly important market, with a peak sales potential of more than €500 million. In corn, the company is introducing its corn rootworm 3 (CRW3) technology as part of SmartStax PRO, and ...

Armed with a Field Crops Technology degree from NC State University, the fifth generation farmer came home after college, and several months later, had an opportunity to start a vegetable farming venture with his life-long friend, Walker Shelton. “This year, Walker and I grew 160 acres of cucumbers and 15 acres of specialty peppers that are drip irrigated thanks to a great water supply from ...
In lieu of new CropProphet forecasts, this document seeks to estimate potential yield and production losses for corn-based on USDA crop progress information and CropProphet county-level weather data. ...
You can read how we developed this analysis or you can jump right to the bottom of the post and read our conclusions. Corn Yield Forecast History – August It’s worthwhile to compare the historical accuracy of CropProphet corn yield forecasts relative to the August USDA WASDE corn ...
“This will increase wheat yield and improve food security for a growing population,” Babar said. Wheat, grown on more than 538 million acres globally, is one of the three most important cereal crops in the world, according to Babar. The other two are rice and corn. But wheat yield must be doubled in the next 30 years “to avert ...
Growers worried about delayed planting for corn, take heart – late-planted corn sometimes has reaped better yields than early planted corn, says an agronomist in the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University. ...
Topics to be discussed during the Corn University March 2 include: Corn Yield Forecasting. New Molecular Methods for Insect Control. Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium Management Highlights for Corn. Taking a Second Look at Hybrid Performance and Technology. Crop-Effective and Environment-Responsible Nutrient Placement in ...
Dutch silage maize farmers can increase their yield in the long term by using earlier varieties. This was the conclusion reached by maize scientists at Wageningen UR based on many years of practical cultivation tests. The use of earlier varieties increases the chance that the maize will ripen properly and ensures better (soil) conditions for harvesting. Moreover, it would provide more space for ...
By comparing the difference in undamaged kernels between the two types of section, the researchers calculated that the bats effectively increased maize yields by 1.4%. The bats also had another, previously unknown, positive impact on crop protection — a reduction in fungal infections, which are introduced by corn earworm larvae damage. ...
“Although this year was very unusual in the amount of rainfall that fell in June, our yields were very high – much higher than expected,” she said. ...
Vermicomposting livestock manure with maize can increase agricultural benefit by 304%, shows a new study. The combination of increased crop yield and the additional earthworms produced as a result of the process led to a substantial increase in output compared to a traditional composting system. As intensive agriculture and livestock production both increase, unique problems emerge. Heavy use of ...
“The most interesting feature of today’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates Report is the projected corn yield of 167.4 bushels per acre,” Farm Bureau Deputy Chief Economist John Anderson said. “That is up from 165.3 bushels per acre a month ago, which pushes projected U.S. corn production to just over 14 ...
Cover crops are appealing to more and more farmers because they can capture excess nutrients without negatively impacting yield or profit. “Average yields for corn and soybeans following cover crops increased by 9 to 11 percent in 2012 and 3 to 4 percent in 2013,” says Rob Myers, North Central SARE’s Director of Professional ...
Projecting the impact of climate change on global food production is no easy task. A warming climate might result in better crop yields in one region, but cause drought and crop failure in another. A new US study, published in the journal Environmental Letters, assesses the odds of a major slowdown in global food production over the next 20 years. Overall, the study’s authors say, the ...
Growers wanting to learn more about managing herbicides, fungicides and resistance, corn yield optimization, corn seed treatments and high-input soybean production can take advantage of a series of free webinars taught by agronomists from Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. ...
Growers wanting to learn more about corn yield optimization, corn seed treatments and high-input soybean production can take advantage of a series of upcoming webinars taught by agronomists from Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. ...
” Strong demand from China and the ethanol industry altered corn and soybean production globally during agriculture’s recent boom period. ...
This month 2013 NMR/RABDF Gold Cup winner Bill Higgins updates us on the latest news from Wilderley Hall Farm, Pulverbatch, Shropshire, and in particular cow nutrition. Following on from last month’s article we are a third of the way through the maize and the bucket brush is in full use. It does surprise me that after only six loads of maize from the first field we were checked out by the ...
