As we learn more about what goes on in the world beneath our feet, increased attention has been placed on soil organic matter... In addition to organic matter increasing, Kloot discovered that nutrient levels and pH on the five farmers’ soils were quite stable — remaining practically unchanged, despite being in full production and not having any commercial fertilizer applied, except for nitrogen to grass crops, which Kloot says was typically applied at lower rates... Kloot says that while species like grass crops tend to bring more carbon into the soil because they have more biomass, continuously growing grasses without any additional diversity will cause productivity in the soil to go down... He knows one farmer who decided to grow a mix of sorghum sudangrass, sunn hemp, daikon radish, sunflower and cowpeas right after his corn crop, before planting winter wheat... ”Kloot recommends including warm- and cool-season grasses, broadleaves and legumes in your rotation...

Wet conditions across the country forced many farmers to forgo their plans for the season and take prevented planting payments instead. The USDA says that as of July 8, 2019, its paid roughly $184 million in claims for prevented planting because of floods and excess moisture. University of Illinois ag economist Gary Schnitkey estimates payouts could reach a record-setting $3... Why Cover Crop Prevented Plant Acres?“If you have livestock, it’s a total no-brainer,” says Sarah Carlson, Strategic Initiatives Director for Practical Farmers of Iowa, explaining that sorghum-sudangrass or Japanese millet would provide livestock farmers access to a lot of forage for the summer and reduce their feedstock expenses... ”She adds that she also likes to include oats, as a grass species is good for mycorrhizal fungi and offers more protection against wind erosion...

Drought can cause issues for grain crops and three Clemson University scientists are working to get to the root of the problem. The scientists believe crops have a lesson or two to learn from their weedy relatives when it comes to growing in drier soils. The trick is to harbor beneficial microorganisms on and around the roots to enhance the ability of plants to withstand harsher environments... The researchers will start by identifying microorganisms found near root systems that help provide drought tolerance to ruderal grasses... “In an effort to make corn more drought-tolerant, we will devise strategies to identify and transfer beneficial microorganisms from the ruderal grasses to corn,” Suseela said...

Burning paddy husk in a rice husk furnace can be a complete substitute for gas or diesel by burning paddy husk to provide necessary thermal energy. This not only increases the millers/farmer’s income through significantly reducing drying cost and improving grain quality, it is also an important 21st century drying industry breakthrough. Paddy husk had long been considered rural waste, but with this technical innovation it can produce amazing thermal energy. The thermal energy generated by 1 kilogram of paddy husk is about 3,000 to 3,500 kcal. Therefore, only 2...

Prior to trade by-batter in economic development of the world, lending has been one of the fastest and most affordable ways to implement large capital-intensive projects, finance current expenses and pay off previous debts. The latter reason has led to the growth of corporate refinancing around the world, especially during period of prolonged crisis and market uncertainty. The term “refinancing” is also used in the meaning of loan rollover. As a rule, this process is carried out by issuing a new loan instead of the previous one or by exchanging old bonds for new ones. The purpose of refinancing is mainly to improve the terms of the loan (maturity, payment schedule, interest rate), as well as to combine several debt obligations into one more acceptable loan for business...
