Got into the field again on June 4 to plant beans. This field had been in corn last year, with a cereal rye cover planted right after harvest. Since we were getting a lot of rain the second half of May, there was a delay of three weeks to get the cover crop rolled and...

Missouri Rogue Update
Apr 22, 2019

Manage Compaction and Residue with the Rogue VT
Jan 7, 2019
2018 is finally over! While for some growers 2018 brought good weather and a bountiful crop, there are those that feel relieved to move on to 2019 especially after a wetter than average fall. As the calendar roles into 2019 a concern amongst a lot of growers I’ve...

Kinze Planter setup last spring to apply Crop Choice starter fertilizer. Happy New Year! As it is snowing here this morning, I thought I’d put together some pictures of a planter that is ready to go to the field to plant corn. As you can see, we have installed...
Valmar Seeder and AerWay for your Covercrop
Nov 28, 2016
This fall we incorporated our cereal rye covercrop with the Aerway/Remlinger Harrow after broadcasting with fertlizer. Got a good stand! Now, there is another option, the Valmar Air Seeder mounted on the Aerway. A great way to do two operations in one. We are...

If you missed the SOIL SERVICE, INC field days last week, you really missed out on a lot of great information. Of course the corn and beans looked awesome in the plots, and there will be lots of data to go through after harvest this fall. However, the information...
