Record wheat yields?
Confirmed plot data shows top-performing wheat fields exceeding 169 bushels per acre
Pest Watch: Cabbage seedpod weevil in winter canola and spider mites in dry crops require scouting
Sweep nets are your friend for this job, kids
Nitrogen Management: Late-April nitrogen applications outperformed earlier passes by up to six bushels per acre.
Cover Crop Management: Harvesting cover crops for forage builds soil biology without mining necessary soil nutrients.
What about green stems in oats? Here's the factsheet on what you can do about it
Disease alerts: Scout edible beans for potato leafhoppers and watch for snow mould in triticale
