A Look into Two Millennial Generation Farmers Making their Marks

Production research reports may not be light reading for the masses. Valuable nuggets in them aren’t always easy to find. But they are now simpler to access, understand and apply on the farm.

In Illinois, half of all farmland is owned by a non-operating landowner. To achieve watershed and landscape conservation objectives, such as those in the Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy (NLRS) in Illinois, requires improved conservation outcomes on rented farmland.

A growing number of Illinois farmers manage soybean and corn fertilizer completely separately. And new technologies not only make it easier, they can boost return on investment (ROI).

With the 2010s in the rearview mirror, startup agtech companies at the University of Illinois Research Park in Champaign have their R&D schedule focused on the 2020s and beyond.

Dicamba Technology Demands Multiple Levels of Stewardship Everyone involved with production agriculture in Illinois has a critical role to play in the proper stewardship of new products, such as dicamba-based herbicides, including strict adherence to all label guidelines. ISA continues to work with industry partners to inform growers about specific requirements related to dicamba use in Illinois.
