Take action against weeds
What a difference a week makes. After a fast start to the planting season, we got a short break thanks to some precipitation that was much-needed at the time. Many areas were in dire need of moisture, so it was nice to see much of South Dakota getting rain.

Keep weeds in check
Weed resistance to chemicals will continually increase. It only takes one weed to survive a treatment for it to pass on the genetic makeup to do so to the offspring. This creates more resistant weeds until there is a whole population of resistant weeds. Applying more herbicide will make these weeds even more resistant. This will happen over again even if the chemical formula for the herbicide is altered.

Entrepreneur turns straw into wattles
As Kurt Kordon was driving down the road he noticed the straw wattles — long, thin straw bales seen in the ditches and medians along the interstate — and figured the demand for them would be high with the large amount of road construction in the area.

The importance of soil biology
Sixty percent of all the world’s nutrients applied to fields never make it to the plants. That is an astonishing number, considering the cost of fertilizers. It is also worrisome considering that phosphorus is expected to run out in the next few decades, and nitrogen is not too far behind. So what is happening?
