Words of Wisdom

soybeans“It’s not about picking the highest-yielding variety in a trial or choosing a variety that yielded well for a neighbor; it’s about choosing a variety on a field-by-field basis that will perform well in a particular environment based on specific soil conditions and insect and disease pressures - putting the right product on the right acre.”

In the News

Tall O'Toole Inc. CornThe U.S. Agriculture Department estimates Iowa will produce 2.47 billion bushels of corn, surpassing the record of 2.38 billion bushels set in 2007.

The state is also expected to harvest 506 million bushels of soybeans, which would make it Iowa's third largest crop.

According to the USDA, Iowa growers are expected to harvest a record 185 bushels of corn per acre, up from 171 bushels in 2008. A record 181 bushels of corn per acre were harvested in 2004.

Because of the larger crop, the USDA on Wednesday estimated farmers will get paid an average of $3.50 a bushel for this year's corn crop. That is 25 cents less than the department forecast last month.

The USDA estimates corn production nationwide to reach 12.8 billion bushels, up 5 percent from last year.
