Landoll announces its 5211 Grain Drill offers more unique features for 2014, including the option for 3 boxes on four different models that range from 10 to 20 feet in width, for seeding large fields with any combination of seed, fertilizer or grass seed.

In Tillamook County, Oregon, where they get approximately 90 inches of rain every year, farmers use no-till drilling as a management tool in that area to increase the productivity of their pastures.

A new weed identification website is now available from the University of Missouri Weed Science program.

Many decisions need to be made when planning to convert CRP ground to row crop production, including what crop to plant. 

Planting corn into sod could generate a gross return of $500 to $700 per acre, which is a large enough opportunity to consider taking old pasture or hay fields and converting them to corn for 2011.

Expiring contracts on Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land offer no-tillers an opportunity to get a jump on the benefits of long-term no-till.
