Georgia: Soybean Green Stem - What Can You Do?
Soybean green stem. Photo: University of Georgia Last week, I received a few phone calls about soybean green stem (SGS). The causes of SGS are not well understood but are likely attributed to various stresses that can effect soybean pod development. Stresses include problems such as stinkbugs, aphids, thrips, disease, viruses, and environmental. The use of foliar fungicides, especially the strobilurins, have also been associated with SGS. Cultivar may also be important as well.
Minnesota Corn: Can Starter Fertilizer Reduce Soil Fertility Costs Next Year?
Applying starter fertilizer. Photo: University of Nebraska-Lincoln Increases in fertilizer prices and talk of tight supplies have led to questions about options for the upcoming growing season to reduce costs. Starter fertilizer does provide growers with some options to reduce the need for broadcast fertilizer, especially for phosphorus. If you are looking to use starter more effectively, there are some things that should be considered. 1.
Midsouth Soybeans: New Tool for Variety Trial Data

State variety testing programs provide critical research to help answer that question by evaluating hundreds of soybean varieties every year across multiple locations within a state. But what if we think beyond the bounds of our state borders when it comes to variety evaluation? While a single state alone provides valuable data, our growing regions often cross state lines.
WASDE Oilseeds: U.S. Soybean Production Declines

Soybean production is forecast at 4.42 billion bushels, down 23 million on lower yields. Lower yields in Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, and Kansas account for most of the change in production. Exports are reduced this month reflecting reduced global imports and lower-than-expected shipments through October.
WASDE Cotton: Domestic Production Slightly Higher

The U.S. production forecast is slightly higher, at 18.2 million bales, while domestic mill use and exports are unchanged. U.S. ending stocks are 200,000 bales higher at 3.4 million—19 percent of use—and 250,000 above the previous year.
WASDE Rice: Higher Domestic Use, Lower Exports

Supplies are raised as NASS increased rice production by 3.3 million cwt to 193.8 million, all on higher yields. The all rice yield is forecast at a record 7,756 pounds per acre, up 131 pounds from the previous forecast. Record yields are forecast for Arkansas, California, Mississippi, and Missouri.

WASDE Coarse Grains: Increased U.S. Corn Production on Record High Yield
Photo: Zach Larson, Pennsylvania State University This month’s 2021/22 U.S. corn outlook is for greater production, increased corn used for ethanol, and marginally lower ending stocks. Corn production is forecast at 15.062 billion bushels, up 43 million from last month on a 0.5-bushel increase in yield to a record 177.0 bushels per acre.
WASDE Wheat: Higher Domestic Use, Reduced Exports
The outlook for 2021/22 U.S. wheat this month is for lower supplies, higher domestic use, reduced exports, and slightly higher ending stocks. Supplies are reduced on lower anticipated imports, down 10 million bushels to 115 million on a continued weak import pace. Higher anticipated seed use for the 2022/23 crop more than offsets lower expected food use driven by a slower-than-expected pace of flour milling as reported in the quarterly NASS Flour Milling Products report.
Travel Marketers Losing Millions By Ignoring Data
Each year tourism departments in governments, companies and associations spend millions of tax payer dollars on market research and insights relating to the travel and tourism industry. Unfortunately, much of this effort is wasted. Why? Well there are several reasons. First, National Tourism Organisations (NTOs) often do not have the resource to take the market research process one step further and distribute the findings to regional tourism organisations and the local travel industry.
