More than 25 years of Beck’s Practical Farm Research (PFR) data indicates that one key to optimizing soybean yield over time is early planting.

American Farmland Trust's one-year Advanced Soil Health Training course is made up of four two-day in-person, in-region training sessions in the Midwest, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, New York, and New England.

New research released by McKinsey & Company reveals that while 90% of US farmers have an understanding of sustainable farming, the uptake of practices remains low.

Starter fertilizer is typically considered to be the placement of a small rate of fertilizer, usually nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), near the seed at planting time. Some strip-tillers might also consider using this opportunity to apply higher rates of fertilizer that can supply most of the N and P needs for the corn crop.
