A new way of analyzing the chemical composition of soil organic matter will help scientists predict how soils store carbon — and how soil carbon may affect climate in the future, says a Baylor University researcher.

After years of research and public comments from the agriculture community, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler declared triazines safe for continued use in controlling resilient weeds, according to the Corn Growers Association.

A new microbial product helps break down crop residues post-harvest, making nutrients more available to meet the following crop's needs.

Interseeding cover crops into soybean is not a common practice in North Dakota due to limited soil water, a short growing season and the need for adapted winter hardy species to produce a good established stand of a cover crop. A study from North Dakota State University Extension evaluated the impact of interseeded winter camelina and winter rye using two soybean varieties with different relative maturities and row spacing.

In part one of a two-part series about setting up farm trials, row crop and livestock farmer Michael Vittetoe shares his insight in this blog from GO Seed.

Leading soil scientist and Ohio State University professor Rattan Lal has been announced as the 2020 World Food Prize Laureate for developing and mainstreaming a soil-centric approach to increasing food production that conserves natural resources and mitigates climate change.

As interest and integration of cover crops accelerate, the industry has been challenged in its ability to provide easy to access, comprehensive information. Recently, cover crop application company GO SEED developed the Cover Crop Information Map to provide a free, centralized platform for knowledge exchange.

Starting this spring, global commodities trader Cargill will pay American farmers for capturing carbon in their field soils and cutting fertilizer runoff.
