A no-tiller asks an important question about weed and plant disease stewardship and what to do when your neighbors aren't on the same page as you are.

Over the last two weeks, many growers have seen rapid increases in soybean aphid populations. This is similar to the late outbreak seen last year, when aphids infested during the R5 to R6 growth stage transition.

As producers gear up for wheat planting, calibration of the seeder is extremely important. Below are two tables to use as quick references in the calibration process. Most producers are using drills with 7.5-inch row spacing. The first table calculates how much seed to collect in 50 linear feet from one row of the drill.

With seed costs going up all the time and pressure to increase yields mounting every year, are you looking for something that could be a game-changer on your farm this spring?

According to BASF's annual survey, glyphosate-resistant waterhemp is making a troublesome mark in the Midwest, so much so that it has become the new No.1 weed to watch for farmers in the region.

A waterhemp population from southeast Nebraska has been confirmed to be resistant to 2,4-D, but the resistant population is believed to be limited to a few fields.
