Rough Year For Kentucky Cattle Producers After Flood And Drought
By Aimee Nielson Mother Nature dealt heavy blows to Kentucky cattle producers this year. Early summer drought caused hay shortages in the west and late July flooding turned Eastern Kentucky pastures into rivers. The high waters wiped out fences and left pasture areas covered in mud and silt that still pose risks to livestock.
The Impact of Cover Crop Species and Termination Time in Weed Suppression and Corn Yield
By Emily Robinson and Andrea Basche et.al How can we best manage cover crop termination time to suppress weeds and increase corn yield? Winter cover crops compete with weeds for water, nutrients and sunlight in the fall and spring. This competition for resources is understood to impact the efficacy of weed suppression when cash crops, such as corn or soybean, are planted in the spring.
Gardner Food and Agricultural Policy Survey: 2nd Quarter, How to Encourage Sustainable Food Production
Farms.com Home › News By Maria Kalaitzandonakes and Jonathan Coppess Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics University of Illinois Brenna Ellison and Pratibha Bist Department of Agricultural Economics Purdue University Given the strain on finite resources for food production there is a continued need for agricultural producers to adopt climate-smart production practices.

Dairy Farmers Boosted By Record-High Payments For Milk
By Kevin Conlan A spike in milk prices paid to farmers in the past year — after years of depressed payments — is allowing them to pay off debt from the lean times, catch up on deferred maintenance and purchases, and save for the future. Cows peek out Friday from a barn at East River Dairy in Homer. High milk prices in the past year have helped farmers, but prices have begun to slip again in recent months.
A Revised Estimate of Soybean Production From the 18 Leading Soybean States
By Gregg Ibendahl Introduction Last month, Ibendahl (2022) provided a prediction of national soybean yields, acres, and total production. This prediction was based on the USDA weekly crop reports which rates the percentage of the soybean crop in each state as either: very poor, poor, fair, good, or excellent. Based on the state crop conditions from 7/31/22 (week 30), Ibendahl estimated a national soybean yield of 50.4 bu/ac and a total national production of 4.413 billion bushels.
Comparing Beef Cow Slaughter to 2011
By David P. Anderson A lot has been written about beef cow culling this year due to widespread drought in the Western half of the country and high costs relative to calf prices. Most of that has focused nationally. This article focuses on cow slaughter in the Southern Plains. Federally inspected beef and dairy cow slaughter is reported regionally, with states grouped into roughly geographical regions. Region 6 includes Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, and New Mexico.

Agriculture Roundup for Wednesday September 7, 2022
MELFORT, Sask. – The Alberta Wheat and Barley Commissions said Ottawa’s target of reducing fertilizer emissions by 30 per cent by 2030 has created confusion and frustration because of a lack of clarity on what will be measured and how.
Crop inventories down sharply as of July 31: StatCan Report
Statistics Canada says total stocks for most crops were down as of July 31st compared with the same period one year earlier. Lower stocks were largely the result of lower total supply for the 2021/2022 crop year, which was because of low production in 2021 caused by drought in Western Canada. Jon Driedger is vice-president with LeftField Commodity Research.
ICE Close: Canola Lower on Follow-Through Selling
Canola futures closed weaker on Thursday, seeing follow-through selling after Wednesday’s drop below chart support. Wednesday’s close below C$800/tonne in the nearby November contract was bearish from a technical standpoint, with the resulting speculative selling building on itself on Thursday. Losses in European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil also weighed on canola, although a turn higher in Chicago soyoil provided some support.

Crop report: 42% of harvest completes in Saskatchewan
REGINA - Last week's conditions allowed producers all over the province to make great progress with their harvest operations. Forty-two per cent of the crop has been harvested across the province, up from 23 per cent last week and slightly ahead of the five-year average (2017-2021) of 40 per cent. An additional 20 per cent of the crop is ready to swath or straight-cut. Crops that were not ready for harvest have quickly ripened after a stretch of warm and dry days.
2022 U.S. Farm Profits Forecast to Reach Near-Record
USDA’s Economic Research Service forecasts inflation-adjusted U.S. net cash farm income (NCFI) — gross cash income minus cash expenses — to increase by $13.5 billion (8.7%) from 2021 to $168.5 billion in 2022. This is the highest level since 2012. In comparison, U.S. net farm income (NFI) is forecast to fall by $0.9 billion (0.6%) from 2021 to $147.7 billion in 2022. This comes after NFI increased by $44.4 billion (42.6%) in 2021 to the highest mark since 2013.
Farmers Can Achieve Partial Reduction in Fertilizer Emissions: Report
A new industry report shows greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fertilizer applications can be reduced without negatively impacting food production and farmer returns - just not at the level proposed by the federal government. Released Wednesday, the report commissioned by Fertilizer Canada and the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) suggests a 14% reduction in GHG emissions is possible by 2030, compared to the 30% cut sought by Ottawa.
New Report Shows How GHG Emissions Can be Reduced
A new report from Fertilizer Canada and the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) shows how Canada can continue to increase crop yields while significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fertilizer application using available tools and technology, a Sept. 7 news release said. The release noted a 14 per cent reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 can be achieved without jeopardizing food security through the adoption of aggressive, but attainable levels of 4R best management practices.
Saskatchewan farmers take advantage of warm, dry weather as harvest nears halfway point
MELFORT, Sask. – A stretch of hot dry weather all over the province meant farmers were able to make great progress with their harvest. Forty-two per cent of the crop has been harvested across the province, up from 23 per cent last week. The southwest region continues to lead with 83 per cent of the crop now combined. The west-central has 61 per cent of their crop harvested, the southeast 33 per cent, the northwest 28 per cent, the east-central 27 per cent and the northeast 21 per cent.
Crop Report Shows Mostly Lower Saskatchewan Yield Potential
With a handful of exceptions, Saskatchewan government yield estimates are below the forecasts released last week by Statistics Canada. The provincial yield estimates were contained in the regular weekly crop report released Thursday, with the report noting yields in the southwest and west-central regions were “greatly affected” by the extremely hot and dry conditions experienced during critical growing stages this season.
Falling Crop Yields Under Warming could see ‘Rapid’ Decline in Bioenergy’s Potential
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) involves burning biomass for energy and capturing the resulting emissions. This controversial “negative emissions” technology is currently restricted to a few pilot projects, but features heavily in model pathways that limit global warming to 1.5C or 2C above pre-industrial temperatures. The new research, published in Nature, assumes that biofuels and residues from food crops are both used for BECCS.

Updates On A New Leaf-Mining Pest Of Soybean In Minnesota
By Robert Koch Last year, we discovered a tiny leafmining moth (Macrosaccus morrisella) as a potential new pest of soybean. The larvae of this moth feed inside soybean leaves creating injury called leaf mines. Earlier this year, we posted an article asking people to be on the lookout for this new leaf-mining pest of soybean. We have since received reports of this insect in soybean across a broad area in southern Minnesota.
