"I think it surprised me how easily people are swayed by headlines," says Suderman, noting that wartime information flows are often strategic and conflicting. "You have to learn in a wartime to take everything with a grain of salt in the context of what you observe."
The analysis by Food & Water Watch found that 60% of counties with high glyphosate use had non-Hodgkin lymphoma rates above the national average, indicating a strong correlation between glyphosate application and cancer incidence.

Fiber is essential for stabilizing gut health, easing digestion, regulating bowel movements, and staggering the absorption of carbohydrate sugars into the bloodstream. By slowing down the glycemic load of these sugars flooding our bloodstreams, we can even reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
"These new dealerships represent an important investment for CLAAS customers and is a commitment to agriculture in the Dakotas," says Torey Hadland, vice president, CLAAS of America.
"We're bringing over 20 new products... in the adjuvant space, the crop protection space, seed treatment, as well as the plant nutrition space," Walker states, emphasizing the significant volume of innovations for the upcoming year.
Kochia continues to spread beyond its traditional areas, bringing resistance to multiple herbicide groups. This shift may require growers to rethink their canola systems, including variety selection.
USDA estimates for major crops were largely unchanged from the previous month, resulting in muted market reactions. For wheat, the USDA maintained its U.S. production, supply, and ending stocks forecasts with no revisions. Global wheat production was adjusted slightly higher, largely due to increased output estimates in Ukraine and Kazakhstan, partially offset by a smaller Australian crop.
A dairy operation that burns through $2 million in two years on $12 million in revenue has a structural problem, not a temporary one. A farm that accumulates $2 million in debt on $12 million in revenue is structurally losing money. Understanding why matters more than choosing a debt repayment strategy.
At its core, GrainFox really helps producers and agri businesses make clear, more confident grain marketing decisions. Instead of reacting to the hot headlines of the day or relying on that gut feel, they have a structured plan that really helps guide them throughout the whole sales year.
Total wheat area is expected to dip 1.1% to 26.7 million acres in Canada. I have been hearing many growers say they like the idea of wheat's low input requirements, but market fundamentals are giving them pause when it comes to aggressively increasing acres.
I would call it a success story, where probably in about 15 counties we've totally eliminated it. It's actually been pretty quiet on the Palmer front in the last couple years. This is a rare outcome in the realm of weed resistance management.
My older brother has worked with pigs his entire adult life, managing about 70,000 of them across five counties, Faaborg says. But we got to a point where he went from laughing at me to saying: well, I guess maybe I'll quit my job and help you out. Now he's the most dedicated, says Katherine Jernigan, director of the Transfarmation Project at Mercy for Animals, a non-profit that helped the Faaborgs make the switch and set up their new business, 1100 Farm.
Middleton owns and operates Manawan Mills, a feed mill operation that processes grain into complete livestock feeds for species ranging from poultry to cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. The mill sources most of its grain from nearby farms, often purchasing product that may be discounted at commercial elevators due to quality factors such as splits or lower test weight. Middleton says in this episode of Profitable Practices that those characteristics don't limit the grain's usefulness once it is processed.
Based on years of post-transition reviews, MNP has identified seven traits common to successful farm families, MacLean says. First, they start early. Early planning allows flexibility and time to work through the tough stuff. Clear, respectful communication is the second trait - and it's essential. Families who talk openly and establish expectations avoid the dangerous territory of unspoken assumptions. Farms that navigate the process well have a shared vision.

More than 100 research studies show that soybeans typically suffer from a nitrogen gap when yields exceed 60 bu/ac. At that yield level, the combination of soil nitrogen and nodulation often doesn't provide what the plant requires to achieve higher yields. Could biologicals - including nitrogen-fixing endophytes and biostimulants - fill that "yield gap" and provide the nitrogen required at high yield levels? That's a question Syngenta Canada biological field specialist Greg Stewart has been working on for the past two years.
