CHARTS OF THE DAY: Not every fertiliser price is going up. Back in 2022, after Russia invaded Ukraine, nitrogen fertilisers (urea and ammonia) rose shaprly.

In 2018 I realized that I can grow higher yielding soybeans with wheat than without and just soybeans. I proved it to myself for 3 years straight growing 17 varieties of soybeans monocrop vs relay. While most...

Made some infographics tonight to explain our relay wheat system. The main idea is we can grow 70 bushel wheat and 70 bushel soybeans and make about $250 more revenue per acre than pushing wheat yields up over 100 bu/ac and...

Relay wheat growing to 12” tall and closing the 15” twin rows. Looking like planting will be possible later this week. Wheat will act as living pattern tile and weed control for soybeans…. Naturally maturing w/o herbicides unlike traditional cover crops providing...

🇺🇸The food-vs-fuel debate is back amid the war-driven surge in energy costs, particularly for corn-based ethanol. Yes, 2026 U.S. corn plantings will drop from 2025, largely due to rotations. But 2026 could see the 4th largest corn area since WWII and...

🇺🇸USA exported 2.43 million metric tons (89 mbu) of soybeans to China in February, slightly above the month's five-year average. Q2 (Dec-Feb) 2025/26 U.S. bean shipments to China edged the year-ago Q2 volume by about one cargo, but Q1 2025/26 was...

This week's Talking Biotech Podcast 490 looks at the question of mutations passing through vegetative plant materials. Are your cuttings and scions really genetically uniform? Not so fast! With Dr. Danelle Seymour from @UCRiverside. https://t.co/Z6HDLzurxE https://t.co/YBKd4HoXmY
