Clay Pope discusses what’s going on with the fields where he planted a 17-way cover crop mix vs. neighboring farms where wheat ground is being worked ahead of planting.

Big changes are apparently in store for the West Texas A&M research facility that conducts important research on dryland agricultural practices to be shared with farmers.

In order to maximize the benefits of stubble and no-till dryland cropping systems, weeds must be controlled. A multi-year study was conducted at the Southwest Research-Extension Center at Tribune, Kan., to evaluate the effects of weed control timing after wheat harvest.

The Soil Conservation Council of Canada (SCCC) released its first-ever “national soil health report card” to grade how soil measures compare from one part of the country to another. Read on to find out how Canadians made the grade.

Irrigation expenses are usually the biggest energy cost on the farm. On dry years, they become even higher. So how does one know when the system must be started and when it can be turned off? How should the low commodity prices this year affect these decisions? University of Nebraska Extension explains.

Read how no-till, cover crops and ruminant-grazing systems hold the key to helping organic no-till systems sequester carbon in the soil and meet their potential for feeding the population.

Kansas State University Extension discusses the results of research investigating the effects of irrigation timing on cotton lint yield and also corn yield when the two crops are grown with a shared water supply.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is helping with the development of quinoa — which grows well in the fertile soils in western Canada — so the seed can develop into an economic opportunity for Canadian growers.

California is the hub of some of the most strenuous environmental regulations in the nation, but when it comes to preserving groundwater resources the state hasn’t been very progressive historically. That appears to be changing for the better — read on to see why.

With growing demand for sorghum, growers now have the advanced technology to achieve their crop production goals with igrowth from Alta Seeds. As the first commercially available herbicide-tolerant technology for grain sorghum, igrowth will give growers the ability to realize the full potential of their sorghum acres in 2021.
