Can you identify Palmer amaranth plants when they are still small enough to kill?

Good wheat growing conditions in the spring can also be conducive to diseases.

"The secret truth is that planting and weed control are more time sensitive than N application," one Missouri crop expert said.

State regulators and departments of agriculture are pushing back against EPA's move to limit state use of 24(c) labels.

As floods, rain and chilly soils have kept many farmers out of the field, anxiety over planting is starting to rise among some farmers.

Distance between the injection site and the corn seed matters more than time between application and planting.

How Dicamba's Visibility Could Change Ag Pesticide Use Forever

The news that EPA may limit state pesticide restrictions has alarmed state regulators, particularly those dealing with widespread dicamba injury each spring and summer.

Monsanto, now Bayer, estimates that XtendFlex corn could someday penetrate up to 89% of U.S. corn acreage.

Are any of your wheat fields growing a winning crop this year? The wheat contest is accepting winter wheat entries until May 15 and spring wheat entries until Aug. 1.

Many wheat fields in northern and western Kansas are still dormant, and Oklahoma wheat fields are only now starting to green up and grow.

"We will see it this year -- it's just a matter of how heavy the disease pressure will be," one agronomist cautions.

In its broadest measure of income, net farm income, USDA projects a $5.2 billion increase to $69.4 billion in inflation-adjusted 2019 dollars. Commercial farms, which USDA pegs as having more than $350,000 in sales, will average $131,608...

The quirks of herbicide label language means spraying some glyphosate herbicides on LL GT27 could technically be illegal in 2019.

Some state pesticide officials expect a third year of dicamba injury complaints, despite label changes from EPA.

A flurry of farmer activity is underway, as growers finalize seed selections, hash out fertilizer plans, ready sprayers -- and shovel snow.

As USDA and others try to expand rural broadband access, the country is facing an aging transportation infrastructure in need of expensive repairs.

Weeds are an old problem. But weed scientists will need new, transformational technology to keep them at bay in modern agriculture.

Many farmers missed fall herbicide, fertilizer and nutrient applications and are facing messy fields and lower soybean seed germination.

Corteva is waiting import approval from the Philippines before a U.S. launch of Enlist E3 soybeans, which would be in limited supply for 2019 planting at this point.

These states were among the first to battle herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth, and their fight is far from over.

In this group of Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Southwest states, Palmer amaranth populations are multiplying, and so are the herbicide-resistant traits they carry.

These states have faced only isolated skirmishes with this aggressive weed, but they're ready to wage war.
