Managing a winter annual like horsetail with a solid fall burndown plan can reduce some of the weed challenges you face in your fields.

Historically, corn silage harvest occurs around 50 percent milkline, but recent research has shown this historical thinking may not work for all situations.

Understanding the potential pitfalls of swapping out your soybean seed maturities will help you lay out a plan in a challenging planting season.

Planting this season has been tedious, and tough planting conditions can have a negative impact on yield. This is all the more reason to protect the crop from pests and make the most of every opportunity to maximize yields.

Fungal disease may be elevated this year due to excessive soil moisture in late planted soybeans, especially seedlings.

As if planting late wasn’t enough to stress farmers out, now we need to consider how outside factors might be magnified by the delayed start to 2019

Based on the seed quality and germination concerns for this planting season, it's good to know what factors can play into how well your seed emerges.

Conventional wisdom says that the earlier we can plant, the higher we can expect yields to be. While this is typically true, if the conditions are not favorable for planting, it’s better to leave the seed in the bag and wait for conditions to improve.

Spring is here and it’s time to get moving. While planting corn and soybeans is in the front of everyone’s mind, for those who planted wheat in the fall, it’s now time to do some maintenance.

One of the first steps to getting your crop year off to a clean start is to plant into a weed-free seedbed. A good burndown of the existing weeds can help eliminate their ability to compete with the crop to be planted. There are several effective burndown
