Source: University of Illinois Inclusion of corn germ in swine diets can reduce diet costs, depending on the local cost of corn germ and other ingredients. Recent research conducted at the University of Illinois indicates that corn germ can be included at up to 30% in diets fed to growing pigs. “In previous research, we had seen that pigs do very well on diets containing 10% corn germ, so we wanted to investigate if higher inclusion rates can be used," says Hans Stein, professor of animal sciences at the University of Illinois. read more

14 Ways to Protect Bees when Planting Corn, Soybeans this Spring

Source: Ohio State University There are concerns with possible bee kills from the use of neonicotinoid seed treatments when planting corn. The neonicotinoids, when applied to the seed, get mixed with the talc that is used to allow seeds to flow more easily in the planters, and then the insecticides plus talc enter the environment during planting or when the seed boxes are cleaned. This dust can settle on flowering plants and weeds that bees will use for forage, or perhaps contact the bees or nearby hives directly resulting in bee mortality. read more
