Nitrogen is the No. 1 nutrient in corn crop production. With the wet spring we had, there’s no guarantee the N you applied last fall or pre-planting is still available to your crops this growing season. In our latest Stine Weekly, we explore the value of N to crops, what causes leaching/denitrification and how to know if you need more on your fields. https://bit.ly/3z9zkXP

Break crops play a vital role. But their gross margin is often lower than cereal crops, which has limited their adoption. Is a double break the answer? 🤔 Led by West Midlands Group together with The Liebe Group, Facey Group Inc. and Corrigin Farm Improvement Group, a GRDC National Grower Network project has been exploring the potential of double-break crops in the medium and low-rainfall zone in WA's central wheatbelt. 🌱 Double break crop sequences may yield higher profits than current canola-cereal sequences 🌱 Early sowing, particularly in mid-April, can improve chickpea profitability 🌱 Weed populations increased in the chickpea phase but did not adversely affect the subsequent cereal crop.

ATI Weekly Blog with Farm Progress: 12.19.23 This week, ATI Risk Advisor, Kent Stutzman, is our guest writer discussing opportunities for both unsold bushels for 2023 crops and for those to come in 2024. "The 2023 calendar year is ending, but for many, marketing decisions still need to be made for the 2023 crop. Additionally, we must start planning for the 2024 crops. Let’s review several things that you need to watch as we market these crops." #corn #soybeans #wheat #optionstrading #riskmanagement https://lnkd.in/dg2N7RRV

U.S. lemon crop on the rise U.S. growers produced 1.12 million tons of lemons in 2022–23, an increase of 5.5% (or 58,000 tons) from last year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service (USDA ERS) reported. One third of these lemons went to processing with the remainder going to the fresh market. California lemon production experienced rising acreage and yields with growers in that state producing 1.06 million tons in 2022–23, marking a 50-year record. https://ow.ly/vmk250Qp9Sq #Lemons #CAGrowers #Agriculture

As we embark on another growing season, it’s crucial to address two vital aspects that significantly impact crop productivity: the critical weed-free period and early season pests. Understanding and effectively managing these factors can make a substantial difference in achieving optimal yields. Key points to remember about CWFP: 1⃣ Keeping the crop weed-free during CWFP should prevent yield reduction. 2⃣ Weeds emerging after CWFP won’t affect yield. 3⃣Allowing weeds to compete during CWFP may have lasting effects, especially in perennial crops. Each crop has its unique CWFP timing. For crops like corn, soybeans, and canola, this period is especially crucial, as these are less competitive in their early stages. Timely weed control measures during this vulnerable phase can help establish robust root systems and achieve maximum growth potential. Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/gua6x-jx
