How are coastal farmers responding to salty soils?
Saltwater intrusion means farmers must adapt their management practices.
How drones can help farmers
With a little training, farmers and scientists can use drones to grow food more efficiently
New test measures corn nitrogen needs with greater accuracy
A recently published study analyzed a combination of soil tests to gauge corn nitrogen needs more accurately than the standard chemical tests that have been in use for roughly 50 years. The research could result in economic benefits to farmers and improved environmental quality.
How does flooding affect farms?
Patience is a virtue for on-farm flood recovery
Cover crops can benefit hot, dry soils
Soil gets more than just “cover” from cover crops.

Diverse cropping systems don’t increase carbon storage compared to corn-soybean rotations
Diversified crop rotations protect water quality and have other environmental benefits, but recent experiments show that farms can’t rely on such rotations to improve carbon storage in the soil. The findings contradict widely held expectations that the extensive root systems of perennials and cover crops would deposit carbon in soils.
Drones effective tools for fruit farmers
Unmanned aerial vehicles provide reliable, accurate data to growers.

Sorghum study illuminates relationship between humans, crops and the environment in domestication
A new study illustrates the concept of a domestication triangle, in which human genetics interact with sorghum genetics and the environment to influence the traits farmers select in their crops. The concept gives a more complete systemic picture of domestication.

Machine learning in agriculture: scientists are teaching computers to diagnose soybean stress
Machine learning could lead to automated processes that would allow soybean producers to diagnose crop stresses more efficiently. A multi-disciplinary team at Iowa State University recently received a grant to develop the technology, which could lead to unmanned aerial vehicles surveying fields and automatically analyzing crop images.
