Producers using a no-till wheat/row crop/fallow rotation may find that row crop yields in such a rotation are higher in years with relatively normal weather when the wheat stubble height is taller

A wealth of scientific information exists on the benefits of cover crops, yet their use in conventional row-crop farming systems traditionally has been low.

While the USDA's September production forecast exceeded the August forecast, the recent sharp price decline primarily reflects the continuation of poor economic performance and concerns about financial conditions in Europe and the U.S.

Alyssa Collins, plant pathologist for Penn State University, has found a new soybean disease while visiting Pennsylvania farms.

When checking out these plots, it's important to keep in mind their relative value and limitations.

Although no one likes to wait until July to apply nitrogen, some fields or parts of fields do not yet have all the N they need.

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is a crucial input for maximizing yield and profitability of corn, and the expense and environmental impact of N fertilizer has heightened the need for efficient N management practices.

Many fields this spring have thin stands, drowned out low spots, and non-uniform growth that all force the question of whether or not to replant, and while some replant decisions are easy to make, the majority are more complicated than they may first appear.
