The many benefits of no-tillers planting green are starting to be recognized much more by folks as shown in two recent developments that promoted the concept through unique corn and soybean yield contests.
In the US, 2024/25 ending stocks are estimated at 1.540B bu of corn (vs. consensus 1.527B bu), 380MM bu of soybeans (vs. consensus 378MM bu), and 794MM bu of wheat (vs. consensus 799MM bu).
Marion Calmer shares easy combine settings and adjustments to follow to efficiently harvest highyielding, green-stemmed and green-podded no-till soybeans.
Studies spanning 60-years of data show farms are more resilient to the vagaries of markets, policy meddling and weather with more diverse crop rotations.
A recent report from USDA’s Agricultural Research Service has some interesting insights on the benefits of crop rotations, but researchers caution the “long view” is needed to fully capitalize on such improvements.
We’re kicking things off with breaking news. Strip-tiller Alex Harrell broke his own world record with a 218-bushel soybean yield in Smithville, Ga., this week. The irrigated soybeans were 12 bushels better than his 206-bushel yield last year. He strip-tilled through a terminated wheat cover crop on red clay soil with a Schlagel Rapid-Till, while banding a homogenized mix of N, P, K, sulfur, zinc, iron and copper.
On this episode of Conservation Ag Update, brought to you by Martin-Till, Smithville, Ga., strip-tiller and cover cropper Alex Harrell shares the main takeaway from his record-breaking 218-bushel soybean yield.
The number of seeds to plant per acre is a decision that crop producers must make each year and is important for maximizing yield potential of the crop.
The 2024 class of Brevant brand soybeans is the largest to date, with 24 new Enlist E3 soybean varieties featuring genetics from Corteva Agriscience and a focus on consistent performance in any growing season.
