Alfalfa stands and alfalfa weevil management Although there was enough snow cover in parts of northern MN this past winter to protect forage stands, there wasn’t much […]
Are you curious about advances in targeted spray technology or wondering if this system could work for you and actually lead to cost savings? These questions and more were highlighted during a recent UMN Extension “Strategic Farming: Let’s Talk Crops!” program. Dr. Rodrigo Werle, weed scientist with the University of Wisconsin- Madison, joined moderator Ryan
Drought affects crop conditions as well as the potential for disease development. Dr. Seth Naeve, Extension soybean agronomist, traveled to Minnesota recently to assess the soybean crop. Despite the drought, soybeans are looking reasonably good. However, we are living “paycheck to paycheck” regarding soil moisture and need rain for the crop to develop and yield.

Dry conditions continue to intensify, impacting crop and insect pest development. Despite delayed planting, corn development is ahead of normal. According to Dr. Jeff Coulter, a University of Minnesota Extension corn agronomist, warm temperatures during the early summer accelerated corn growth, and they are compensating for the late spring. “The heart of the pollination period
The drought has continued to intensify in the Upper Midwest region during the past few weeks, impacting both herbicide effectiveness and weed control options. While spotty rains have given some relief in parts of Minnesota, precipitation has been inconsistent. As a result, corn and soybean development has been slower than usual, and crop canopies aren’t
