Landowners are using controlled burns in area pastures today. A challenge in this area is afforestation, or grasslands being taken over by Eastern red cedar. They’re the black trees on the hillsides in the video that can be killed by 🔥restoring pastures and grassland habitat.

The cows are enjoying the morning before it gets too windy. We graze cattle on crop residues to recycle nutrients, clean up volunteer corn, and decrease residue levels making no-till management and strip-till mamangement easier in our environment.

Can’t let the seed sit in the bag. #Plant25 is a go for corn and soybeans. The soil temp is 38 degrees and we’re expecting blizzard conditions by morning. We’ll see what emerges!

What is the soil temperature? That question depends on lots of factors. This is a look at the soil temps over the past month from our first planting date. 39.7 this morning at 7:00 a.m. #plant25 #Bayer4NE

It was a great day and a great group of students to visit with about Bayer technology and cropping systems. The history of corn and soybeans was a highlight, and most got to see cotton for the first time.

Planting is well underway. We planted the first #Vyconic soybean small plot trial on 4/23/2024. Really could use a rain #plant25 #plantinthedust #Bayer4NE

Very nice 0.39” of rain overnight. It’s not a lot, but it helps. We were going to have to start irrigating the winter wheat trials this weekend without it. #Bayer4NE

Frosty overnight. Temp bottomed out at around 31 degrees according to the weather station. The emerged corn and soybeans will be fine, but they were covered in a layer of frost. #plant25 #Bayer4NE

A cold start turned into the perfect evening. Making great progress on the Learning Center corn and soybean research trials with three (small) planters. #plant25 #Bayer4NE

It’s the earliest we’ve ever had to irrigate the WestBred Wheat plots at Gothenburg, NE. Pay attention to moisture conditions in your winter crops and how emergence is progressing in your spring crops to see if a pass with the pivot is needed. #irrigate25 #Bayer4NE

Just a video to give you a feel for what it is like in planting in central Nebraska today. Very dry with wind speeds at about 40 mph gusting to 55 mph. #plant25 #Bayer4NE
