Gary Esselink with Raven introduces the new Accuflow Vortex NH3 Delivery System, a first-of-its-kind anhydrous ammonia application system that has increased capacity within a single cooler, which maximizes applicator time and creates a smaller footprint on the toolbar.

Seedling success sometimes depends on a good coverup, according to research at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The optimal corn seeding rate for any situation will depend on the anticipated environment and how the hybrid responds to that environment.

With many strip-till rigs starting to run this spring there are agronomic goals to keep in mind. Orthman Mfg. agronomist Randy Haarberg offers 3 Principles of Strip Till that he feels need to be addressed on every acre of strip tillage:

Many producers could benefit by using starter fertilizer when planting corn. Starter fertilizer is simply the placement of some fertilizer, usually nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), near the seed - which "jump starts" growth in the spring.

Daryl Peterson with May Wes shares the products they've been focusing on in the last year. The Original Stalk Stompers have received a No-Till Product of the Year two years in a row.

This article explains new corn and soybean traits and their corresponding products.

Nematodes are common pests in many soybean fields in the state. Sometimes called the "hidden enemy"?, root-knot, soybean cyst, and reniform nematodes can be costly if they are ignored. Because they are not visible, damage caused by nematodes is often overlooked.

Growers will find key information to keep in mind about the ongoing threat of soybean rust and actions they can take to minimize potential losses from this disease in two videos now available online. The videos include highlights from numerous research and Extension projects carried out by land-grant university researchers from around the country involved in soybean rust research and monitoring efforts.
