A) New Herbicide Update for Corn, Soybeans, and Wheat - Mark Loux

A number of new products for corn, soybeans, and wheat have been made available to Ohio growers over the past year. Some of these were used on a limited basis in 2009, but 2010 will be the first year of widespread use for most. As in previous years, some new products are simply new premix formulations of existing products (Flexstar GT, for example), but two brand new active ingredients were also registered...

B) Evaluating Soybean Cyst Nematode Resistance – Big Impact in 2009 - Anne Dorrance, Mark Koenig, Glen Arnold, Roger Bender, Bridget Meiring, Dennis Mills

The weather was a big variable across the state this year, with some areas getting heavy weekly rains to severe drought in other portions of the state. One soybean pathogen seems to do well under both conditions but we see greater impact when the dry spells are longer is soybean cyst nematode. This is a worm that survives in the soil as a cyst.

F) Thoughts on Compaction From The Fall Harvest - Randall Reeder

Many Ohio corn and soybean growers are harvesting record crops. However, they may be facing compaction issues because of saturated soils at harvest.

"Many farmers will be unable to get back in their fields after harvest," said Randall Reeder, an Ohio State University Extension agricultural engineer. "Many fields have ruts and severe compaction issues."

So what can farmers do to break up that soil and smooth out rough fields? According to Reeder, options are limited...
