Roy Pfaltzgraff carried out an experiment on his 2,000-acre farm to ascertain whether treated seed is needed his farm’s moisture-limited environment.

No-tillers can harness the power of pink microbes to improve their yields with NewLeaf Symbiotics’ Terrasym products for corn and soybeans. The company reports its Terrasym microbial products increases soybean yields by 2 bushels per acre and corn yields by 4.5 bushels per acre on average.

Growing — even in climates with a cold winter — is less about seasons and more about keeping the water, nutrient and carbon cycles turning to your advantage.

Findings from Beck’s Practical Farm Research indicate closing wheels, planting dates and application timing impact ROI for your no-till corn and soybeans.
