For August 25, 2021, the special guests included Anna Cates, Extension soil health specialist, Liz Stahl, Extension educator - crops, and Troy Salzer, Ag production systems educator in St. Louis County. Moderators were Jared Goplen and Ryan Miller, extension educators in crops. The drought has many considering which cover crops may be the best option, or whether a cover crop will even grow in the dry soil conditions. This session gave an update on how things have progressed this year, in addition to the management recommendations to consider if cover crops are used for forage, soil health benefits, or both. 

For August 18, 2021, special guests included Dr. Dean Malvick, Extension plant pathologist, and Dr. Angie Peltier, Extension educator-crops in northwestern MN, to talk about current disease issues in the state, even during drought conditions. Malvick described late-season diseases that are beginning to show up across the state, and Peltier showcased the Digital Crop Doc, a U of M online tool growers can use to identify crop disease. Dr. Seth Naeve also discussed soybean yield components in late August. Seed number may have been limited due to hot dry conditions earlier on, but soybean plants are still able to increase seed size and weight in late August into September.

Today is August 11, 2021, and earlier this morning we recorded another episode of the Strategic Farming: Field Notes program.  The Field Notes program is a weekly update on the current crop situation and crop management considerations.  Today’s session was moderated by U of MN Extension Crops Educators Ryan Miller and Jared Goplen.  The special guests included Dr. Debalin Sarangi, Extension weed management specialist and Dr. Tom Peters, Extension sugarbeet agronomist to discuss weed management observations from 2021. There are waterhemp, velvetleaf, ragweed, and grassy weed escapes throughout Minnesota. We discussed some of the reasons for these weed escapes, as well as how to address these issues going into next year.
