Geocarpy is a phenomenon observed in peanuts and a few other crops. Following pollination, a "peg" emerges from the ovary and extends downward into the soil. The peanut embryo forms at the tip of the peg and matures into a peanut underground. From: B. Tellier & Joaquin Oliverio

Farmers in northwestern Wisconsin have consistently outpaced national crop yield growth averages in recent years. We track crop rotations as part of our impact program, as longer and more diverse rotations bring multiple agronomic benefits. From: Baptiste Tellier & Thiago Lima

Our #canola in northern #Wisconsin is currently in the seed development stage. We have supported its inclusion in the rotation for several years, reaping agronomical, workload, and risk management benefits for both the land and the farmer. From: B. Tellier, F. D'Cruz & S. Day

At Fall Line, we aim to promote economic viability and environmental stewardship in #agriculture by adopting conservation practices like cover cropping and no-till techniques, particularly in rotations involving low-residue #crops. From: Joaquin Oliverio & Baptiste Tellier

Following potato harvest in the fall, triticale was seeded on this Columbia River Basin farm. Its winter hardiness allowed robust growth through the initial winter period, and it now lies beneath a snow blanket until the spring thaw. From: Joel Edmonds & Baptiste Tellier

Frequent aftermath of rain causing significant soil erosion despite its flat terrain. As managers, we focus on practices such as cover crops to counter this issue. With our farmers, we customize mixes for each field to protect soil and ensure productivity. From: Joaquin Oliverio

Soil analysis provides valuable insights such us nutrient levels, pH, and soil microbiology, which impact nutrient cycle dynamics and soil-borne disease risk. We use it to establish a baseline when acquiring farms and to track the impact of our practices. From: Joaquin Oliverio

In the Mississippi Delta, aerial herbicide applications face challenges like off-target drift, exposing non-target plants, and promoting resistant weeds. This limits crop selection, as farmers avoid planting susceptible crops near treated fields. From: Joaquin Oliverio
