"Our mission is to nourish kids so they can reach their full potential, as well as to educate them about healthy eating and where their food comes from, and a part of that is teaching them about compost", says Stephanie Mellstead, education and engagement specialist, Kids' Food Basket. Kids' Food Basket's organics recycling beginnings were simple- a cold compost system that basically required adding organics to a pile then letting nature break down the material. Michigan-based Kids' Food Basket delivers 10,000 meals a day to local school kids, made from produce grown on the grassroots nonprofit's ten-acre farm. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the contribution of no-till farming in nitrate leaching into streams and lakes. Topics discussed include meta-analysis of research which compared nitrate concentration between no-till runoff and conventional tillage, the variability of nitrate loads and concentrations by soils, and ways to reduce nitrate loss from fields including intercropping, cover crops and crop rotations with perennial crops.

The article focuses on the significance of carbon intensity scores for farmers delivering crops to ethanol plants, where a higher score might lead to rejection, while a lower score could yield premiums. It reports on the new provision incentivizing biofuel producers to invest in carbon capture. It emphasizes the need for farmers to understand and improve their carbon intensity scores to capitalize on potential financial benefits.

The article offers information about Colt and Brandon Woody, recipients of the 2023 Farm Press Peanut Efficiency Award for the Upper Southeast region. It discusses how they started farming career in Clovis, New Mexico, before relocating to the Texas Panhandle and eventually settling in Aiken County, South Carolina, U.S.. They emphasize crop rotation, timeliness, and attention to detail to achieve high yields and profitability in their peanut and corn farming operations.

The article focuses on farmer Steve Olson who apply crop rotation and reduced tillage for successful management of agricultural land. He rotates cotton, seed milo and millet, sunflowers, corn and wheat, and runs cattle. He mentions that common thread is lack of consistent annual rainfall and availability of irrigation water from the Ogalala Aquifer.

At the beginning of the year, Ronnie says, he thought he might be ginning about 90,000 bales, but the toll from the heat and drought dropped that to closer to 60,000 bales.Looking at challenges facing Southeastern cotton producers, he says glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth pigweed would have to be near the top of the list. Ronnie Lee has successfully combined the concepts of stewardship and profitability to build Lee Farms into one of the premier cotton farming operations in the Southeast.In recognition of this accomplishment, he has been named the 2010 Farm Press/Cotton Foundation High Cotton Award winner for the Southeast region.Lee Farms, at Bronwood in southwest Georgia, grows 3,500 to 4,200 acres of cotton, 900 acres of corn, soybeans, and wheat, and has a cow-calf operation. The remaining pigweeds are then pulled to insure that no seeds are added to the soil.

The use of starter fertilizer often depends on whether you have a planter capable of placing these nutrients, and the benefits of starter fertilizer use depend on soil conditions. Starter fertilizer in-furrow One concern with placing starter fertilizer in-furrow with the seed is the potential for ammonia or salt damage to seedlings. Starter fertilizer is defined as small amounts of nutrients banded to the side or below the seed, or in-furrow with the seed and is considered complementary to your primary source of preplant nutrients.

Keith Miller was excited when he walked into his cover crop field following wheat in September. Miller also knows that it's important to increase nitrogen in starter fertilizer for corn if it follows a cover crop that ties up a lot of carbon, like cereal rye. After wheat One reason Miller likes wheat in his rotation is so he can come in with a multispecies cover crop mix early, often in late August. [Extracted from the article]

Miller believes no-tilling with cover crops makes it easier to avoid creating soil compaction and allowing compacted layers to compound over time. Why water infiltration matters When Miller pulls out corresponding soil samples, one from conventional tillage and one from his no-till field, the point of the water bottle show and tell becomes crystal clear. Keith Miller, Elkhart County, Ind., didn't just wake up one day and decide to no-till and use cover crops. [Extracted from the article]

With fertilizer costs still trending higher than average, Spieler says maintaining fertility helps handle high-stress conditions such as drought. Products planted in 2023 may be more tolerant to drought stress, but Spieler says, "We want to stay with our main plan for the most part, and plant for success." Spieler says in some parts of South Dakota, dry conditions caused lower yields in corn and soybeans, where crops experienced severe drought stress. [Extracted from the article]
