Slow Harvest and Grain Drying

October 23, 2009

A record cool summer has yielded to a record cool fall. That combined with wet weather has slowed natural corn and soybean drying in the field, forcing farmers to dry their crops in the bin.

Nebraska farmers are facing harvest in wetter than normal conditions this year, said Tom Dorn, UNL Extension educator in Lancaster County.

Irrigation Management with Limited Capacity or Water Allocations

July 6, 2012

Irrigation management under hot, dry conditions like we're seeing now can become complicated when your water supply is limited due to well capacity or water allocations.  Careful management can help you more efficiently use the water you have to produce yield.  This year a few well-timed inches of water may make all the difference.
