Don't let the blue spot happen, says Eric Snodgrass of Nutrien, because cold water there and a late summer La Nina ridge could bring heat and marginal rain to the Cornbelt. He says that will be a potential "drought story." Details: youtu.be/vlDy-Wuji-8

For 2024 weed control in soybeans and other crops, farmers should find an alternative to dicamba, says IL weed scientist Aaron Hager. A federal court said despite weed control challenges, EPA's 2020 registration was wrong and blocked dicamba sales. youtu.be/B4Gjbg58cwQ

Farmers should become more concerned about the EPA's proposals on endangered species. IL weed scientist Aaron Hager says farmers should make efforts to convey the impact to EPA and suggest alternatives to EPA's plans. "Some of their maps may be incorrect." youtu.be/yxbmJAMBrCA

Most farmers still own half or more of their 2023 corn and soybeans, but need to think about 2024 crops so the same problem is not repeated next year. Noted market advisor Matt Bennett has some suggestions for new crop corn and beans. youtube.com/watch?v=3wt9axGz…

Crop nutrients are being lost through drainage tiles into streams and rivers. But @IllinoisNREC is funding research to reverse that trend. Exec. Dir. Julie Hewitt says the value of NREC will be seen as nitrogen and phosphate levels drop in waterways. youtu.be/cZNNBR83ZW8

Farm Progress Show 2021 is one we won't soon forget. This year, we teamed up with @ilcorn under one tent outlining how we work together side by side.
We truly showcased our tag line, "Power of Two, Working for You." I'm beyond excited to see what we can do together next!

With snow on the fields, one would think agriculture has settled in for a long winter’s nap. WRONG — and you’ll meet one of the busiest young ladies at this time of year, in this Harvest Heritage report. #WCIA
