Experts warn that growing continuous peanuts or other legumes close in rotation to the peanut crop can have detrimental effects on peanuts — namely soilborne diseases. This includes leguminous cover crops. Photo by Jack Dykinga, USDA Agricultural Research Service

”Growing peanuts and other legume crops too close in rotation to peanuts can result in white mold (shown in photo) or Cylindrocladium black rot on the peanut crop... And because peanuts are a legume, it’s discouraged from growing other legumes in rotation with them. But what about using a legume cover crop? Can you include a legume like crimson clover in a cover crop mix that will be seeded on a field that includes peanuts in the rotation?The answer is a little more complicated than just yes or no. Avoid Legumes Before Peanuts; Use Grasses InsteadBalkcom believes the rule of avoiding legumes before peanuts also applies to legume cover crops, and points out that the typical intended purpose of growing a legume cover, doesn’t make sense for growing in front a peanut crop anyway... “Well in this case, peanuts are also a legume, so they don’t have that nitrogen requirement...

February 13, 2018February 13th, 2018 is the 2nd annual Canada’s Agriculture Day – a time to celebrate and draw a closer connection between Canadians, our food and the people who produce it. Our theme this year is Water Pollution from Agriculture, which is a global challenge that has increased in both developed and developing countries, undermining economic growth as well as the physical and environmental health of billions of people... Farms discharge large quantities of agrochemicals, organic matter, drug residues, sediments and saline drainage into water bodies... How can farmers reduce these devastating impacts on our environment you ask? Without the initiation of the new guideline by governments, it is up to farms to take these matters into their own hands... Leading the way are drones which are a wonderful technology that can support farmers to reduce their use of water, fertilizer, herbicides, and pesticides...

Muscarella and Vetsuypens present data showing the pattern of leverage for a sample of 72 firms that were taken private in LBOs and returned to public ownership through stock offerings about three years later... Key management personnel could be provided with a significant equity ownership either through their own investments or the improvements they achieve in operating performance. The gains to managers would have significant impact on their wealth positions... Third, the management possessed the power of unrestricted decision making; they could utilize their knowledge, could be flexible, and could make prompt decisions without several layers of hierarchical review. Fourth, the rewards of successful operations were large and significant; they provided strong motivation to key managers and employees in the new firm...

They’re a long-term practice for protecting and improving the soil, which may also translate into protection and improvements for cash crops... But what about the short-term? Are there benefits growers can experience in their very first year of using cover crops?The answer is: it depends. A variety of factors can influence the early benefits of cover crops, including the soil’s current health and conditions, tillage practices, species selection and overall management. The poorer the soil, the faster the resultsOne of the fastest changes that can occur from cover cropping is the improvement of soil health... While covers can help any soil, Groff, who now runs a cover crop consulting business, says that cover crops seem to help a poorer soil quicker...

Now,there is a better way that we can use microbiological fertilizers like Bacillus mucilaginosus to prevent drought. The reason is that:Bacillus mucilaginosus is also called silicate bacteria,it has strong potassium-dissolving ability,which is selected from the roots of crops and produced by industrial fermentation with a specific medium... It is currently the most significant and widely recognized microbial agent... Bacillus mucilaginosus can secrete plant growth regulators such as auxin and gibberellin,increase roots and make seedlings strong,and directly enhance drought resistance of plants... Bacillus mucilaginosus can decompose silicon in the soil for the use of plants, making the waxy layer of plants thicker and improving the water holding capacity of plants...

From Chinese pork to Mexican mangoes, blockchain technology is already fostering direct marketing, improving traceability for compliance, reducing waste, and increasing profit margins. Lest you think this is some fringe movement, or premature technology with no practical application, food industry giants such as Walmart, Nestlé, Dole, and Unilever are actively developing blockchain technology applications with IBM... If blockchain technology can help farmers and food producers from the developing world, as well as multi-national mega-corporations, why not streamline and accelerate the distribution of your products?What is the blockchain, and how are these applications disrupting agriculture?In a nutshell, blockchain technology is creating new economic opportunities through decentralization, while enhancing security... Food safety compliance is made easier for farmers, with the supply chain more traceable than the paper and pen, and local area network systems currently in use today... Who loses?No one’s advocating for a return to the Luddite movement, but there is an understandable pushback to disruption from one sector...

The recent article that came out this week on Seeking Alpha was posted anonymously and, while the author provides a strong argument, time (and pending lawsuits) will uncover the truth... Not for the purposes of picking on Farmland Partners but to get a good reminder of a simple business lesson that can lead to ruin if forgotten (as it often is)... The prices they have been paying for farmland in most cases was far higher than fair market value. It’s painfully obvious to type this, but an investment’s rate of return is simply determined by dividing the cash an investment produces by the price paid for the asset. That’s all you need! You can run discounted cash flow calculations, determine cap rates, IRR, etc...

It’s no secret that America’s farmers are aging. In the last 35 years, the average age of American farmers has risen more than eight years to over 58 years-old... farming population continues to mature, another alarming trend develops: in the last decade, farmland values have more than doubled ... Can your farm spare a cabin while benefiting from a sweat equity deal? While access to American farmland is, in some ways, even more limited today than in generations past, there are still a number of reasons why now is a great time for young people to pursue a career in farming... For insight into blending the beginnings and endings of farming careers in 2018, we sat down with veteran farmer Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms, as well as farmer and Land For Good’s Massachusetts Field Agent, Jason Silverman...

A common concern growers may have when they move to a no-till system is nutrient stratification... Even though stratification — the non-uniform distribution of nutrients within a soil’s depth, with higher concentrations of nutrients toward the soil surface — does occur in no-till, it should not be a concern... Stratification: A natural effectWhen you fertilize your pasture, your rangeland or your lawn, how deep you till it in?That’s the question Jasa asks farmers who worry about nutrient stratification in their no-till systems. He asks, if you can put nutrients on top in a natural growing system, why can’t they be placed on top in a cropland system?Ward also points out in native prairies, nutrients work their way down into the soil naturally, just as it occurs in no-till systems. It’s why he prefers to call it nutrient distribution instead of stratification...
