Monday posted an Continue reading Soybean cash market and forward booking prices in Arkansas for June 10-14, 2013 Peanut acreage declined in 2013 for all peanut producing regions of the U.S. In 2012, Arkansas had 18,000 acres and this year an estimated 11,000 acres, which was slightly higher than early estimates projected. The decline in acreage was related to lower peanut contract prices, high corn and soybean prices, and cold wet conditions Continue reading Arkansas peanut growers plant more acres than early estimates projected Almost as soon as soybeans started coming up I starting getting calls on herbicide injury.

Sheath blight is one of the rice diseases we need to watch out starting a few weeks after flooding. Sheath blight occurs in almost every growing season but not necessarily in all rice fields. The rice-soybean rotation system Continue reading Scout for sheath blight disease of rice from green ring until pre-heading June 7, 2013 No. 2013-11 Dr. Jarrod Hardke, Dr. Gus Lorenz, Dr. Trent Roberts, and Dr. Bob Scott Crop Progress “When you shift the gear and that little needle on the tach goes into the red and reads 9000 RPM, that’s BAD.” That’s how I feel about this season – we’re at 9000 RPM Continue reading Arkansas Rice Update 6-7-13 The biggest excitement this week for the Arkansas 2012 cash soybean market was the 20 cent weekend gain to a Monday opening average of $15.58. The remaining week of trading saw little market movement as price traded within an 8 cent range and mostly drifted lower (Figure 1).
