Jason Mouser and his brother Eric count themselves fortunate with their glyphosate- resistant giant ragweed and marestail pressure. Other growers in the Ridgeway, Ohio, area have those two as well as growing pressure from velvetleaf, cocklebur, foxtail and more. Not that giant ragweed and marestail aren’t problem enough.

Now a few years into the movement of ag data from the farmstead into the cloud, we are seeing two different models of cloud-based platforms emerge. There are cloud-based storage platforms with aggregated data sharing; and there are cloud-based platforms without aggregated data sharing. It is important for all farmers to know the difference.

It’s no secret that phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) levels in soil can get neglected when corn margins are tight. And according to more than 22,000 soil samples tested in 2016 by DuPont Pioneer agronomists across almost 9,000 Corn Belt fields, P&K deficiencies are keeping today’s productive genetics from reaching full yield potential. Continue reading […]

There are many different tools and approaches available that, if used correctly, can help to improve your nutrient management (variable rate application, precision placement, crop sensing via NDVI, late-season application, nutrient BMPs, etc). However, selecting the correct tools and using them to your advantage is not always an easy process, since the best tool and […]
