Whether you are harvesting corn or soybeans, residue management at the combine is important. Any steps you take to better promote good residue practices will positively impact the following season's planting pass and will continue into stand establishment.

University of Idaho Extension Educator Steven Hines believes he’s found an effective way for farmers who interplant cover crops between corn rows to significantly boost forage production.

Heat stress is defined as the rise in temperature beyond a threshold level for a period of time sufficient to cause irreversible damage to plant growth and development. Multiple statistical studies have shown negative correlations between average seasonal temperature and corn yield.
