A new development in soybean rust activity was recently report by Dr. Don Hershman, University of Kentucky, and Department of Plant Pathology. His colleague from Mexico just reported 150 acres of soybean with an active soybean rust infestation. This infestation is in the same area where soybean rust was previously found in a field harvested in early March.

Proper filling of bunkers and piles of forage pays big dividends. Dry matter losses occurring during filling, storage and feedout will be higher in silage packed at low density (< 14 lbs DM/Ft3). Higher density also allows more feed to be placed into a silo, thus reducing the cost of additional storage capacity.

Seed costs have dramatically increased over the last few years. The development of transgenic hybrids and the associated technology fees has driven the cost of hybrid seed to the highest prices ever seen.

If we understand and use the biology and physics of forage drying properly, not only does the hay dry faster and have less chance of being rained on, but the total digestible nutrients (TDN) of the harvested forage are higher. As mowing and conditioning equipment has evolved, some of the basic drying principles of forage have slipped by the wayside and we need to review them.

Weed scientist from across the North Central region are preparing a series of bulletins to address concerns about glyphosate-resistant weeds under the GWC (Glyphosate, Weeds, and Crops) Series title. I have just received the first two bulletins on the biology and management of horseweed and wild buckwheat.

Don't Forget the Burndown in No-till |

|
The recent warm weather and rain is bringing a good crop of winter annual weeds to life and early summer annual weeds will be right behind. In no-till fields, it is important to apply an effective burndown treatment to control these weeds at planting, even if the crop being planted is Roundup Ready.
