Are you a mixed grain intercropper who is looking for a new small grain-pulse combination? Or do you have an interest in mixed grain intercropping and want to learn more? Our oat-pea report may have some relevant information for you! tinyurl.com/5wfn9fjy

@DrJustFutures Also - it is good (even important) to enjoy your work. Show up, try your best, work hard. But it shouldn't be treated like a calling (no job should be).

If you're an environmental humanities (or adjacent) graduate student, what would you hope to get out of a talk about career opportunities in climate/renewable energy outside of academia?

@agronomistag This is especially true in climates with short frost-free periods and relatively low precipitation.

Don't expect too much from winter cover crops, unless you irrigate them or give them more growing season. "At least 2 Mg/ha [0.9 tons/ac] of cover crop biomass may be needed to increase soil organic matter", which is often not feasible with short CC growing windows.

@AMillershaski I've been told that their adoption has been limited b/c of cost and added complexity to harvesting equipment. But I 100% share your view. Even if it added some overhead time at harvest, the overall reduction of weed populations would be well worth it.

I’d really like to formally study hydrology, specifically for semi-arid grass/rangelands, to enhance my own management and professional expertise. Does anyone have any suggestions? Pursue second bachelor’s? An online MS? Something else?

@joshwhiton @greenwoodae This is a smart approach. Additional credentials may not be worth the time and monetary cost - especially if the information you need as a practitioner can be acquired outside of a formal degree.

@greenwoodae Maybe start with a hundred YouTube videos on the subject and then decide. Many are from universities. Afterwards decide if you really need more structure and credentials.

@lstruckm June 22nd. Had to go back and look. Will use it for corn grazing. I like it because I can go through established crop with the planter and small tractor to get to these pockets with minimal crop damage. I’m thinking by using the water we may get more potholes seeded more years.

@lstruckm Probably not Luke. Generally appears later in the season and soybeans are most susceptible from R1 to R4, specifically R3 to R4. These soybeans were R5 to R5.5. Younger upper leaves being most susceptible as well.

A relatively new disease to soybeans in MB, seeing more Frog Eye Leaf Spot showing up in certain fields in certain areas. Not severe by any means, but something to keep an eye on. #Scout2024

@k_lyons55 Those are always brutal to break free. Do you have access to a pneumatic chisel? I've seen those do the trick.

@Farmthoughts22 I've noticed that fasteners are harder to find and have become more expensive over the past several years. Something like this seems like part of this trend.........
