“Researchers had to manually review most incomplete or conflicting cases. Our results show that current LLMs still have limited ability to reliably extract agricultural research data on their own.”

Adam Roth taking a last gander at our wheat plots across the state. Everything looks good to go.

I am pleased to announce that the price of diesel has not risen to the point where we can’t afford recreational tillage! 🙏

Purple soybeans? Purple seed stain was more common across the Midwest in 2026 due to warm and wet weather during seed development. While it likely has little impact on yield, it can affect grain quality and potentially lead to lower prices. Read the article to learn more: ow.ly/ti1z50ZX1KE #SoyCheckoff #ScienceForSuccess

Putting everything to bed for the winter! How the day started and how it ended!

“Seeding rates above the [agronomic optimum seeding rate] resulted in no benefit under favorable conditions, since higher plant populations mostly benefit from environments exposed to weather events that reduce population (e.g., hail).”
From the @ASA_CSSA_SSSA article "Seeding rate effects on soybean seed yield components and economic return" doi.org/10.1002/agj2.70534 by Fernando M. Marcos, Caio L. dos Santos, Natan A. Seraglio, and Mark A. Licht

We work around tractors all the time, but do we know what sounds they make? We put our graduate students to the test, how did they do? youtube.com/shorts/cFHEXX4DA…

We hear that it's #WorldStatisticsDay! Farmers are bombarded by data from ads, publications, social media, and more. It can be hard to decipher which information is accurate and impactful. Check out our factsheet on the basics of interpreting agronomic data for more info: ow.ly/MZiG50XbLIP
ALT A graphic with 2 statistical analysis examples. The top example is on a fertilizer experiment with a significant 3.5 bu/ac yield advantage. The bottom example is on a variety experiment with a non-significant 4.7 bu/ac yield difference. On the right side is an alert graphic that reads "Key Takeaway: A small but significant yield advantage (Example 1) is more meaningful than a larger but non-significant yield advantage (Example 2).
