Join a Shallow Burial with Carbon training and demonstration on April 8 in Manhattan. The program will cover carcass disposal methods, site construction, and management practices. bit.ly/4uwz25M #kstateagronomy

Kansas just experienced its second warmest winter on record, with temperatures nearly 5°F above the 30-year average and below-normal precipitation across the state. bit.ly/4bk6Da3 #kstateagronomy

Brown wheat mite activity has been reported in western Kansas wheat fields. Dry, cool conditions favor this pest, so producers should scout fields and watch for leaf stippling and scorched plant appearance. bit.ly/4lnv7ns #kstateagronomy

First hollow stem has been reached in several wheat varieties near Hutchinson. Producers grazing wheat should closely monitor fields and remove cattle once wheat reaches this stage to prevent yield loss. bit.ly/4usdmay #kstateagronomy

The latest Agronomy eUpdate is here! This week’s issue includes updates on wheat first hollow stem development, brown wheat mite activity, a look back at Kansas’ record-setting 2025-26 winter, and an upcoming livestock carcass handling training. bit.ly/4blbojx #kstateagronomy

Interest in hemp production for grain and fiber continues, but questions remain about markets, management, and profitability. This article explores the outlook for hemp production in 2026. bit.ly/40geRuR #kstateagronomy

Alfalfa weevils are already active in Kansas. Degree-day accumulations are ahead of normal, so producers should begin scouting now and watch for early feeding damage in alfalfa fields. bit.ly/4rYsgUw #kstateagronomy

Ammonium sulfate (AMS) can improve herbicide uptake, slow droplet drying, and enhance weed control. It’s important to know when AMS should and shouldn’t be used. Click here to learn more about AMS: bit.ly/3OZVVxV #kstateagronomy

First hollow stem is approaching in Kansas wheat. Once wheat reaches this stage, cattle should be removed from pastures to avoid yield loss. See the latest variety monitoring update from Hutchinson. bit.ly/40dIlcS #kstateagronomy

Before irrigation season begins, make sure your pivot system is operating as designed. Checking pivot charts, nozzles, pressure, and travel speed can help ensure accurate water application throughout the season. bit.ly/4s4ffZq #kstateagronomy

Residual herbicides play a key role in early-season weed control in corn, helping prevent yield loss and improving POST herbicide effectiveness. Learn about herbicide groups, resistance management, and program selection. bit.ly/46CII4k #kstateagronomy

Join the last K-State Crop Talk Webinar for insects to watch for in the field. The last broadcast will take place at 12:00 on March 10. bit.ly/4aRl5rc #kstateagronomy

The latest Agronomy eUpdate is here! This week’s issue covers residual herbicides for corn, irrigation system prep, wheat first hollow stem updates, ammonium sulfate in spray tanks, alfalfa weevil activity, hemp markets, and Crop Talk webinars. bit.ly/4lg3z3p #kstateagronomy

The K-State Crop Talk webinar series continues through March 10. Insect control is the final topic of the series. Register here: bit.ly/4bcfiwl #kstateagronomy

Irrigated soybean acres are shifting eastward in Kansas. Share your management practices to help guide future research and recommendations. Take the survey: bit.ly/4tWAAW3 #kstateagronomy

#Wildfires across Kansas raise questions about forage recovery, stocking rate adjustments, and grazing management. Recovery depends on timing, moisture, and follow-up management. Learn more here: bit.ly/4sjbyPz #kstateagronomy

Winter #canola should be topdressed with nitrogen and sulfur during the rosette stage to maximize yield potential. Rate decisions should factor in residual nitrogen and yield goals. bit.ly/4bbjo7T #kstateagronomy

First hollow stem monitoring continues across 12 Kansas wheat varieties. As of Feb. 23, stem elongation has begun in some entries. Learn more here: bit.ly/4sjbyz3 #kstateagronomy

First hollow stem is the key stage for removing cattle from dual purpose wheat to protect grain yield. Grazing past this stage can reduce yields 1–5% per day. Learn how to identify FHS: #kstateagronomy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bit.ly/4tXgqLR#kstate…
