The window to spray dicamba is shortening, but that doesn’t seem to have had much impact on seed choice for 2023. Future growing seasons may s…
For the past three years, Terry Aberhart has watched the spindly, fixed-wing drones zip across the big skies over his farm in Canada’s Saskatc…
With the onset of planting season, it is necessary to watch for winter annuals and early emerging summer annuals in corn and soybean fields.
Growing crops in a changing climate is difficult enough. But when weeds factor in, soybean yields take a massive hit. That’s according to new …
Weed control was more difficult in 2022 after a dry growing season for much of the western Corn Belt, but it may cause carryover problems in 2023.
Moisture is key to activating herbicides, and for those dealing with drought in the Midwest this season, it may have been tough to come by.
Asian copperleaf (Acalypha australis) was first discovered in Iowa in 2016 in a corn field near Cedar Falls. Prior to this discovery, the only documented infestation in North America was within New York City.
Combines are very good at what they do, namely separating seeds from plants during the harvest process. Unfortunately, this can include separating weed seeds from weeds in the field.
After the springs of 2020 and 2021 allowed for early planting, 2022’s season started a little later. Combined with cooler temperatures, that m…
Timely and effective herbicide applications will carry much of the weight in most weed management programs, since very few weeds were present at the time of pre-plant tillage this year due to the cold, late spring.

Steve Goodwin has seen many crop diseases show up that caused concern among U.S. agronomists, but often they die off before spreading widely. …
Planting soybeans in the same field that just grew soybeans is not recommended. Soybean yield will suffer even before factoring in environmental conditions, weather and pest/disease pressures.
Farmers look for any edge when it comes to weed management. While issues in crop fields are heavily discussed, managing prairie land can be ju…
