Crop residue serves an important role in physically protecting soil by preventing soil erosion during rain events or high winds.

Beck's Hybrids announced today plans to expand operations at the Atlanta, Ind., headquarters with a $60 million investment in processing, production, research and distribution facilities, as well as creating new jobs over the next four years.

In the last few years, drought conditions have raised questions about the utilization of corn as the main crop for maximizing yield production per unit of available water in dryland environments.

Using high-powered DNA-based tools, a recent study at the University of Illinois identified soil microbes that negatively affect ragweed and provided a new understanding of the complex relationships going on beneath the soil surface between plants and microorganisms.

For 8 years now we at Orthman have been honing our skills to better understand what happens with strip-tillage and corn rooting. How is this all happening so corn plants can tolerate heat and drought stress better?

What are some good options to control ryegrass with a short turnaround to plant back to corn? When addressing this question we have to realize that some of this ryegrass is likely glyphosate-resistant (GR). Though we do not have it officially confirmed at this point, I am confident from the last couple years' field observations that Tennessee does have a few fields with glyphosate-resistant ryegrass.

For growers who may have planted cover crops last fall, it will be very important to apply an effective burndown to these species in the coming weeks.

Manure is a valuable asset to livestock farmers who grow crops. It provides nutrients - nitrogen, phosphorus and potash - and helps maintain or increase soil health.
