Parts of the Upper Midwest are experiencing temporary shortages of propane (LP) gas to dry the corn that is currently being harvested. Propane inventories are very tight at many of the terminals in southern Minnesota, resulting in limited availability to local cooperatives, and ultimately to farm operators, in some areas. The tight propane situation is being monitored very closely by the Minnesota Grain and Feed Association (MGFA), which represents most of the grain elevators in the state. Focus on Ag read more

4 ways corn performance is impacted by harvest delay
2013-10-28 00:00:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Source: Ohio State University Leaving corn to dry in the field exposes a crop to unfavorable weather conditions, as well as wildlife damage. A crop with weak plant integrity is more vulnerable to yield losses from stalk lodging and ear drop when weathering conditions occur. Additional losses may occur when ear rots reduce grain quality and can lead to significant dockage when the grain is marketed. Some ear rots produce mycotoxins, which may cause major health problems if fed to livestock. read more
