Kansas State University Extension experts discuss why growers should start controlling emerged volunteer wheat soon, rather than waiting until closer to wheat planting time.
About 20 years ago, Ron, Robert and Earl Rayner of A Tumbling T Ranches in Goodyear, Ariz., began developing a no-till double-cropped cotton and wheat planting as part of an overall crop rotation they follow. This video chronicles their progress and highlights the success they've had in managing risks, sustaining productivity, economizing on water use, improving soil function, reducing soil temperature and developing a successful reduced-disturbance production system.
It would be easy to lower expectations when you’re only getting 12-14 inches of precipitation each year.

Sugarcane aphid activity in sorghum has been light in the southern Plains so far, but the situation can quickly, so Kansas State University Extension shares tips for scouting to stay ahead.
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension ecologist Richard Teague continues to investigate how soil health can be improved and soil carbon increased through using Adaptive Multi-Paddock (AMP) grazing rather than continuous grazing.
One of the main benefits of using sensors to better manage irrigation is the reduced costs of pumping, as sensor users estimate water savings of 2 inches per acre, says University of Nebraska Extension.
Texas A&M AgriLife researchers have shared interesting results about wheat varieties and their ability to use stored soil water. What can you do to improve soil water storage and availability, outside of just buying the right variety? You guessed it.
