March 14, 2016 I got an email from a grower in northern Illinois this past Christmas. He was concerned that if he applied an in-furrow starter in soybeans, the starter might ruin germination or injure soybean seedlings because of its salt content. He said he could apply it in-furrow or dribble on top just off center of the emerging row. Another option would be to place it in a 2x2 band to the side of the seed trench. Applying starters has been a... |

March 08, 2016 Controlling glyphosate-resistant marestail in soybeans continues to be a big challenge for Kansas no-tillers. Because soybeans are generally planted later in the season, and marestail generally germinates in the fall or early spring, application timing and weed size are critical factors to successful control. In the early spring, using a growth regulator herbicide like 2,4-D and/or dicamba is an inexpensive and effective option to... |

March 07, 2016 Time to pare down the budgets; are seed treatments on your cut list? 2016 is a tough year economically for soybeans.

What makes it even tougher is that growers now know that soybeans will yield if they invest and apply the best management practices. So are growers willing to cut expectations on yield by saving money on technology? That is a tough... |

March 04, 2016 Illinois data from the 2015 National Bridge Inventory finds that more than 2,200 bridges are structurally deficient and nearly another 2,000 are functionally obsolete. It’s no easy task, but ISA is working to improve rural bridge infrastructure across the state. And with the upcoming reconstruction of the Trivoli Road Bridge in Peoria County as an example, ISA is improving farmer productivity in the process. The Trivoli Road Bridge was... |
