This issue squarely faces the Idaho drought situation, highlights a family hay and beef operation in Cambridge, and informs you of a crop protection sensor you can bury right with the crop. Also, check out our newest Ag Proud podcast episode.
From California to Cambridge, the Mosekian family continues a ranching tradition at BnB Farms as Idaho transplants. “We have been accepted more fully here than I ever imagined possible,” says Brice Mosekian.
This article by Pat Hatzenbuehler compares the current drought situation to historical data to give it some context. Some droughts were extreme by April, but others didn’t emerge until August – and it all means changes to crop yield. What’s in store this year?
Now, a buried sensor can help potato farmers predict crop damage and is tough enough to be harvested with the crop. Any data that helps modulate and regulate crop inputs is a welcome addition to crop management strategies.
Join us for an interview with Shane Blakely of Blakely Ag Consulting in Kimberly. In addition to running his own cow-calf operation, Shane writes nutrient management plans for feedlots and dairies, does ag consulting, phosphorous indexing and water calculations that comply with the Idaho Department of Agriculture standards.
