How Dry Conditions Drive #Plant25 Decisions
There’s an old saying in farming: “Plant in dust, your bins will bust”. The premise is that dry soils will encourage faster, deeper root growth early in the season, which will lead to more robust root systems and stronger plants throughout the growing season. Conversely, crops planted in ideal moisture conditions may become lazy and their roots remain shallow, causing potential problems later in the season when summer heat and dry conditions often arise. If that old adage is true, then Midwest farmers would be looking at a bumper crop in 2025. Then again, there’s dry, then there’s very dry.
National Ag Day: Celebrating the Trusted Voices of Agriculture
Trust in the mass media has eroded to new lows. A recent Gallup poll reveals that 69% of Americans have very little to no trust in the media. Over the past five decades, the number of people who place a great deal/fair amount of trust in the media has plummeted 40 points. It’s dropped 12 points in the past five years. Fortunately, this is not the case with agricultural media.

Last month, farmer sentiment rose another 11 points, based on the Purdue Ag Economy Barometer. It’s now about as high as it’s been in a decade (save for 2020-21, when commodity prices hit record highs).
