Consider options for harvesting, drying and storing soybeans to minimize losses.

Clean the grain and storage bins, control grain temperatures and check for insects.

Producers with cover crops available for grazing and those wanting their livestock to graze on cover crops can connect through NDSU’s FeedList.

The model predicts the maturity date of soybeans for eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota.

Warm grain could lead to insect infestations and mold growth.

NDSU scientists will use USDA grants for crop productivity research.

The potential for damage during handling increases when soybeans are too dry.

A spreadsheet can help producers decide whether prevented planting is a viable option.

Higher grain temperatures reduce the amount of time grain can be stored.

It is intended to replace the NDSU-developed cultivar Cavalier.

Depending on the region, a broad selection of nine to 18 crops are compared.

A positive is that projected yields for most crops have increased.

Characteristics of ND1406HP include 0.6 maturity, purple flower color, gray pubescence, yellow hila with dull seed coat luster and brown pod color.

Data from the 2014 trials is based on field studies conducted at three locations that had known IDC problems.

The program uses partial budgeting to compare the economics of prevented-planting with growing the same crop, for which a prevented-planting payment could be received, or some other crop.

Some of the tools in the app give users the ability to search by crop or pest to find solutions to problems or recommended treatments.

Make sure the grain is at the recommended moisture content for summer storage.

National Hard Spring Wheat Show has taken on a different look this year with the incorporation of the Best of the Best program.

However, producers may want to be more aggressive than normal in forward-pricing crops that provide acceptable profit.

These are soybean educational meetings with current research-based information that can help producers with soybean production decisions for the 2014 growing season.

Try to harvest as much of the crop as possible before its moisture level drops below 11 percent.

At first glance, the projected prices per bushel look good at $5.65 for corn, $12.87 for soybeans and $8.44 for spring wheat.
