Bad weather for an extended period can drastically delay planting. So, what’s a farmer to do once the optimal date for planting corn has passed? And just what does ‘optimal’ mean anyway?

While it might be tempting to skip the process of planting a cover crop, there are some very compelling reasons not to. Cover crops can reduce the soil erosion caused by wind and rain, as well as alleviate soil compaction. As well, cover crops aid in weed suppression, pest reduction and also help sequester carbon, which improves soil health.

Today’s high yielding hybrids and increasing population densities have researchers once again looking at the quantity and timing of nutrient uptake throughout the growing season. Each macro and micronutrient has a unique role and individual characteristics within the growing plant.

PRIDE Seeds is now using the Fortenza® Maxim®Quattro with Stamina® (FMQ/S) package of insecticide and fungicides as its primary seed treatment on corn products, and for good reason.

You have a lot to think about when you’re deciding which silage hybrid(s) to invest in. You can do a number of things to safeguard their seed investment and ensure maximized performance.

This article provides important agronomic information and terminology related to kernel development, maturity, and drydown. When you are scouting your fields, this will help you to know what stage your corn crop is at. The indications discussed help you determine harvest timing to maximize yield, test weight, and quality.

Researchers have broken the ensiling process into four phases. This article looks the importance of each phase and how to prevent substantial losses while maximizing gains.

There is an ever–increasing availability of new Precision Ag technologies, the adoption of which have given producers the capability of harnessing new and previously unattainable yield and profit potential.

From a 3D virtual image of your soil profile, to variable rate seeding, we can use these layers of data to adapt our management strategies 'on the go' to help mitigate risk, which aids in the end goal of being more profitable per acre.
