In July of 2014, I sat in the audience on the last day of the InfoAg Conference in St Louis... By attending that conference, I was afforded the opportunity to hear some of the smartest minds in agriculture speak on and demonstrate how precision farming was going to change the industry as we knew it... it would be another year from this moment until I was able to connect and learn from the industry’s best again at InfoAg 2015. That’s when I knew I had to create AgFuse. Agriculture is a very unique industry for a number of reasons, but one of the more unique paradigms of ag is that it is an industry built upon the generous sharing of information among its participants...
Good weed management practices include rotating herbicide modes of action and layering preemergence and postemergence herbicides with residual activity.

The initial ease and success of Roundup Ready technology may have caused some farmers to become lax with their weed management programs, which was ultimately a factor in the introduction of glyphosate-resistant weeds. The agricultural community certainly made mistakes with the introduction and use of Roundup Ready technology. As new herbicide and seed products, including dicamba and 2,4-D tolerant crops, are introduced, we can take learnings from the Roundup Ready era and develop smarter weed management programs. What went wrong?There’s no doubt that glyphosate and Roundup Ready crops revolutionized modern agriculture... 6 tips to steward new technologyAs farmers look to new technology to fill the gaps where glyphosate has failed, it’s time to consider new management practices to extend the life of these products...

For a while, the work of many environmental groups, agencies and celebrities had been able to slow the unchecked destruction of forest land... The forest Code was first adopted in 1965 as a way to allow farmers to purchase and farm land in the Amazon with the caveat that they may only farm a small percentage of the land. However, with the limited governmental ability to oversee the development of an enormous dense forest just slightly smaller than the continent of Australia, it wasn’t a surprise to anyone when eager farmers and cattlemen started to illegally clear additional land. When this has happened in the past, huge fines have been levied against the offending parties as well as the requirement to return the cleared lands back to forest, making the risk not worth the potential consequences... According to Brazil’s space agency that tracks deforestation through satellite imaging, over 1,000 square miles (more than twice the size of Los Angeles) was cleared in the period of August 2012 to July 2013...

On April 30th, a few days after I reconfigured our high tunnel for warmer weather, and while I was four hundred some miles away from home, freezing temperatures hit yet again... Temperatures that were ten or more degrees below average have given way to temperatures that are ten or so degrees above average for the last forty days... Well, again, sort of... They also dry out well against heavy rains... From what I have heard or read from other growers, many have had difficulty with their cabbages, broccoli, and similar crops not just in my state but in many places across the country...

This Week In Agriculture:· Today’s USDA report went off like a wet firework, no boom merely a sizzle as numbers came in within the range of pre-report estimates and relatively free of surprises... On the acreage side of things we saw the USDA estimate 89... That’s up just under a million from their March estimate and was 750,000 higher than the average pre-report estimate. · Prior to today’s release though the common agreement among many analysts was that a 90 million plus number would easily cause further erosion to price, dodging that bullet may allow some to breathe a little easier as we move ahead. · Year over year changes by state to corn acres appeared to be relatively minor with Ohio and Nebraska increasing their acreage 150,000 while Michigan upped theirs by 50k...

· After the close last Friday Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue was quoted as saying China had agreed to purchase another 10 mmt of soybeans, in addition to the 10 mmt they had already committed to buy... Though the average sale pace would have had to have been around 300,000, the USDA had no such announcements this week. · Overall sales were large for all commodities, but with over 2 mmt of soybeans sold this week, we have seen our export deficit versus a year ago cut in half... The Chinese government changed their approach to corn subsidies soon after the dispute was put forth, making it difficult for the panel to determine actual damages for that crop... · Weather continues to dominate the minds of traders and farmers, even if the market appears impervious to any type of bullish scenario...

Tillage and crop rotation. Fungal spores overwinter in soil and plant debris left behind with conservation tillage practices... A meta-analysis of data gathered from 2002 to 2009 across 14 states in the Corn Belt showed average yield increases of 1 to 4 bu/ac when foliar fungicides were applied when disease pressure was low (less than 5% of the ear leaf infected with disease between R4 and R6 growth stages)... The left column of graphs shows probabilities when disease pressure is low, while the right column shows probabilities of not breaking even when disease impacts more than 5 percent of the ear leaf at the R4 to R6 growth stage... More leaf coverage means you’ll get better plant protection...

This Week in Agriculture:A Mixed Bag of Information from the Week that Was: January 11, 2019· This week was loaded with lots of news stories with no real direction. Traders spent much of their time focusing on Brazilian weather, Chinese trade negotiations and the non-existent USDA report... · The government shutdown is impacting other portions of agriculture as well... · Both countries were clear the talks were ‘positive’ and ‘beneficial to the process,’ with China reiterating its promise to purchase US agricultural and energy products and the US restating the issues the administration and others feel need to be resolved... It was just a few weeks ago talk of a 130 mmt crop were relatively common—much larger than the 119 mmt crop produced last year—because of higher acres and a relatively decent start to the growing season...
