A strip till cultivator with versatility to operate in a range of UK arable farming situations was demonstrated by Kuhn Farm Machinery at Tillage-Live.

Study suggests earthworms could be established in drought-prone dryland soils to improve soil quality.

As corn silage harvest comes to a close and grain harvest nears, growers need to be aware of safety precautions to prevent grain engulfments, according to safety experts from Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.

This year, due to poor spraying conditions, wet planting conditions and increased resistance, there are a lot of fields with weed escapes.

Corn is now in the seed filling growth stages (R2-R5) when nutrient demands are put on plant leaves as the seed kernels develop. At R2 blister stage, approximately 75% of the corn plant’s required nitrogen (N) is in the plant.

Several people have submitted images of escaped "pigweeds" wondering whether the plants were Palmer amaranth. In all cases, except the earlier reported situation in Harrison County, the plants in question have been waterhemp, although at casual glance they could easily be mistaken for Palmer amaranth.

Kverneland acknowledge the increased interest in strip-till and launches new Kultistrip.

Plants in many fields have heavy ears, along with shallow roots because of abundant rainfall, and many of these plants could topple easily as they mature, especially if a late-season storm with high winds blows across the field.

Palmer amaranth has been increasing around the Midwest and CREP seedings can apparently be one source of new infestations.
