As fall field work draws to a finish in Illinois we will be tempted to start NH3 applications. The voluntary guide line is to wait until the soil temperature at the 4” depth is 50 degrees F. And declining also use an EPA labeled nitrification inhibitor. Thanks for waiting.

Sad news

[Steve Groff @CoverCropCoach]

We lost a legend in #regenerativeagriculture. Dave Brandt passed away last evening from serious injuries he suffered in a vehicle accident while delivering seed. This is hard as he impacted me greatly and I know thousands of others...

With the myriad of climate-, soil-, and environmental-related programs being developed by government, industry, and non-profits, farmers have an abundance of opportunities to participate in beneficial agronomic programs with no or low impact to the farm budget. @ilcorn_PCM
