Happy #NationalPumpkinDay! Did you know that:
🎃Illinois grows more pumpkins than any other state?
🎃Last year, Illinois harvested 630 MILLION pounds of pumpkins!
🎃80% of pumpkins grown in Illinois are used for processing into canned pumpkin.
Cover crop season is here! If you’re in a conservation program, remember to get your seed ordered and record all necessary data about your cover crop. The carbon data guidebook details which cover crop details are needed to verify your practices. https://t.co/ho5HtHk29n
Carbon markets present farmers with an opportunity to get paid for on-farm #conservation practices. The key to unlocking these funds is understanding the different programs that exist. Learn more: https://t.co/xwAI2MWNCC #carbonmarket#carboncredit
Today is National #NematodeDay and we are spreading awareness about Soybean Cyst Nematode - the silent yield stealer in soybeans. @MandyBish1 & @skporter discuss the history of SCN and highlight the urgency of SCN management as resistance to PI 88788 grows.
Join Megan Miller, Agronomy Programs Manager at @ILSoybean, at @ilcorn_PCM's Field Day on September 28th, where they will be addressing important topics such as soil health, cover crops, and the carbon market. RSVP by September 22nd using the contact information on the flyer.
We had a great time talking all things conservation, on-farm economics, and carbon markets this morning on the @farmdocDaily webinar. The recording should be up on the FarmDoc website soon. @soilfool@Greg22411142@Gschnitkey@ILSoybean @ILSoyAdvisor
It’s been a week of carbon market discussions with farmers. @DeannaBurkhart5 and I have been doing a lot of work to understand how these markets work and the least risky way for farmers to participate. Check out the blog below on @ILSoyAdvisor!
In this Q&A session, Deanna Burkhart interviews Megan Miller about Illinois' carbon marketplace. They discuss carbon credits, markets, payments, USDA funding, and how @ILSoybean can assist growers in navigating the complexities of carbon programs. https://t.co/81vvRAEmpf
Will you be out in soybean fields around R7-R8 this fall? If so, consider contributing to the Illinois dectes stem borer survey conducted by @nick_seiter. The protocol is straightforward, and your participation will only strengthen the data and management recommendations
PCM Director Greg Goodwin and Megan Miller from @ILSoybean joined @BRNAgNews_RB of @brownfield to discuss the program as a whole and upcoming opportunities for farmers: https://t.co/KG2P6xd9rB #agnews#regenerativeag
Thank you to everyone who joined us tonight at the Illinois #wheat summer forum! A special thanks to our guest speaker @MachineryPete for sharing your knowledge and stories. We also appreciate our sponsors and the companies who provided machinery on display! 🌾 🚜
This was an interesting industry panel discussing wheat seeding rates, harvest mechanics, and the importance of bin cleanliness when growing wheat for flour milling at this @IllinoisWheat Summer Forum.
Excited to be at the @IllinoisWheat Summer Forum featuring @MachineryPete, sponsored by @ILSoybean! Looking forward to a good evening learning about one of my favorite crops! @ILSoyAdvisor
