2 weeks ago | agriculture.com | Adrienne Held |Chelsea Dinterman

Markets are heating up for soybean oil. Much like the ethanol boom of the early 2000s, the United States has seen a rapid expansion of soybean-crushing facilities and growing demand for soybean production. By 2027, the U.S. soybean crush capacity is expected to increase by 23%, according to a report by CoBank. The expansion is largely driven by the growth of the food processing and biofuels industries.

Last July, Extension specialists in southwest Missouri started to notice strange symptoms in their corn crop: purpling in the leaf tips, stunted plants, and abnormal ears. Then, they started to notice the corn leafhoppers. “We estimate from the time we first found them in July to the end of the season, 90% of the state was covered by corn leafhoppers,” said Mandy Bish, an Extension crop pathologist at the University of Missouri.
Adjust Fertilizer Application Timings For Better Nutrient Uptake

In many cases, the highest-yielding crops are coddled by a team of experts. Perfectly chosen seed, near-constant scouting, and spoon-fed nutrition are cornerstones of record-breaking production. While applying the perfect nutrients at the perfect time may lead to high yields, that’s not economically viable for most production systems. The average farmer knows each pass across the field costs extra time and money when there’s often none to spare.
How To Maximize Benefits of Spring Burndown Applications

After the quiet months of winter, warming temperatures and longer days often mean a mad dash to get the season started. Prioritizing weed management early is critical to reducing yield loss and future risks. “Over the years, I’ve determined the burndown period is the most critical of the season,” said Monty Parish, a farmer in Henderson, Kentucky. “You only have one chance to kill winter weeds before you plant your crop.”The perfect application conditions are often hard to come by.
