In 2024, commercial foliar fungicides were evaluated across seven Iowa State University research and demonstration farms to determine their effect on disease control and yield response on soybeans.

A common theme for most of us during the winter months is to make decisions for which pieces of equipment to upgrade and which to do maintenance on before heading into the next growing season. 

When it comes to your planter, whether you are considering purchasing a new planter or making upgrades to your current planter, take some time to consider what technology you might want to invest in to improve your planter efficiencies this next growing season.
