In a collaborative effort with Kansas State University, The University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and The Ohio State University, Purdue University is looking for Indiana farmers to participate in a multi-state survey that examines farmer’s views and approaches to on-farm research.

Managing forages for hay production requires much skill. Excellent hay producers understand that yield, quality and persistence are key for a perennial forage production system to be successful.

Early planting favors higher yields, but does not guarantee higher yields.

Are you prepared for hay harvest? It is hard to believe with the persistent cool spring temperatures, but cool-season grass and legume hay harvest will likely begin a month from now.
n this episode, Shaun and Dan discuss how corn is no longer king in Indiana or the US after USDA’s Prospective Plantings report last week showed that farmers will plant more soybean acres than corn, and tips for those planting beans on beans.

Perennial cool-season grass/legume pastures broke winter dormancy several weeks ago.
MULTI–YEAR SUMMARY OF CORN RESPONSE TO NITROGEN FERTILIZER This report summarizes corn yield response to fertilizer nitrogen (N) rate in field–scale trials conducted around the state of Indiana since 2006. These results are applicable to N management programs that use efficient methods and timings of N fertilizer application. The Agronomic Optimum N Rate (AONR) represents the total amount of fertilizer N (including starter N) required to maximize yield, but not necessarily profit. The AONR in these trials varied among regions of the state from about 211 to 254 lbs N / ac, depending partly on soil organic matter and soil drainage characteristics. At five Purdue Ag. Centers where we conducted paired trials of corn following soybean (corn/soy) and corn following corn (corn/corn) from 2007 to 2010, the average AONR for corn/corn was 44 lbs greater than for corn/soy while average corn/corn yields were 18 bu / ac less than the[Read More…]
