The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently determining
whether genetically engineered insecticidal crops should continue to be
grown in the United States. Because the permits under which the agency first
approved insecticidal corn and cotton expire in 2001, EPA must decide in the
near future whether or not-or under what conditions-to allow farmers to
plant the crops in 2002 and beyond. Genetically Engineered Food Alert urges
you to send comments to EPA before August 31, 2001. To date, all commercialized genetically engineered insecticidal plants produce a type of Bt toxin, one of a family of related molecules produced by a soil bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). To develop what are known as Bt crops, a company clones the insecticidal gene from the bacterium and inserts it into a crop plant. The plant then produces the toxin in most, if not all, parts of the plant through all or most of a growing season.

Search farmdoc web
October 12, 2004 CORN AND SOYBEAN CROPS ARE HUGE At 3.107 billion bushels, the 2004 U.S. soybean crop forecast is 271 million larger than the September forecast, 653 million larger than the 2003 crop, and 216 million larger than the record crop of 2001. The forecast of harvested acreage, at 73.99 million, is 335,000 larger than the previous forecast and 1.015 million above the previous record of 2001. The U.S. average yield is now forecast at 42 bushels per acre, 3.5 bushels above the September forecast, 8.1 bushels above the 2003 average, and 0.6 bushels above the previous record established in 1994. Again, only Oklahoma has a lower forecast yield than reported in September.

July 2000 CORN: Five Consecutive Large Crops? Darrel Good Summary The USDA's June Acreage Report revealed that U.S. producers had planted nearly 79.6 million acres of corn in 2000, up from 77.4 million planted in 1999 and nearly 1.7 million above March intentions. June 1 corn stocks were estimated at just under 3.6 billion bushels, nearly 30 million smaller than inventories of a year ago, but about 100 million more than expected. At mid-July, the U.S. corn crop was making rapid progress toward maturity and was in generally good condition. The status of the crop points to another large crop in 2000. Even with an increase in consumption, stocks are likely to accumulate by the end of 2000-01 marketing year. Prices are expected to average near or below the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loan rate for the third consecutive year. Pricing decisions will be centered around the use of the marketing loan program. June 1 Stocks Surprisingly Large In the June 1 Grain Stocks report released on June 30, the USDA estimated corn inventories at 3.587 billion bushels ( Table 1 ). Those stocks are 29 million less than on the same date last year, but nearly 100 million bushels more than expected. After running well ahead of last year's pace during the first half of the marketing year, feed and residual use declined below the level of a year ago during the third quarter. That decline was surprising given the generally low price of corn, improving livestock prices, and the number of animal units being fed.

    What are Cover Crops?
    Why Choose Small Grains as Cover Crops?
    How are Small Grain Cover Crops Established?
    A second method of establishing small grain cover crops is to wait until the soybean or corn crop has been harvested and use a no-till grain drill or shallow tillage to incorporate the seed. Seeding cover crops into fields planted to seed corn or silage corn, which is harvested earlier than grain corn, can be done after harvest with a grain drill or with a spreader and shallow tillage. Additionally, cover crops can be planted with drills or shallow tillage following harvest of early maturing soybean. Generally, only small grains that overwinter should be planted after the middle of September in north of I-80 and no later than mid-October.Small grains that don't overwinter, like oat and barley, normally need to be drilled or incorporated before mid-September for them to grow enough to provide any benefits. What are the Disadvantages of Small Grain Cover Crops?

    Search for: Printer-friendly version Bt Crops Last update: October, 2000 The second most common GE crops, after herbicide-tolerant varieties, are those that produce their own insecticide. Nearly all such crops on the market today are those that produce Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, a bacterium that kills many insect larvae in the lepidoptera class, including most butterflies and moths. Bt has long been used by farmers as a spray; these crops incorporate the bacterium, in a genetically altered form, directly into the plant. Picture of ear of corn Monsanto's NewLeaf® potato, made by its NatureMark division, is also classified by EPA as a transgenic pesticide-producing crop. The plant produces Bt and also includes genes that prevent it from becoming infected with the potato leaf roll virus. These genes are classified as a pesticide, even though they don't actually produce a pesticide in the traditional sense. Rather, they repel pests - in this case a virus. An EPA scientist says the agency is changing the classification for these genes to "microbial pesticide." Bt crops include several dozen varieties of corn, cotton and potatoes. Other Bt crops in development include rice, tomatoes, squash and apples, as well as trees. The leading manufacturer of Bt crops is Monsanto Corp., producer of Yieldgard® corn, Bollgard® cotton and NewLeaf® potatoes.

    Minding the storage: Make plans now for big crop harvest
    WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Farmers are a few months away from harvesting what could be record corn and above-average soybean crops. They might need every day between now and then to figure out where to put all that grain. Producers should start thinking about their storage options, either on-farm or at a nearby elevator, said Chris Hurt, a Purdue University agricultural economist. Hurt estimates average Indiana corn yields could equal or slightly surpass the 2001 state record of 156 bushels per acre. He projects average state soybean yields of 46 bushels per acre - just 3 bushels lower than the 2001 record. Hurt's predictions are based on recent crop progress reports issued by the Purdue-based Indiana Agricultural Statistics Service (IASS). In its July 26 crop update, the IASS rated 77 percent of the Hoosier corn crop in good to excellent condition, with 94 percent of corn acreage having silked - 18 percent ahead of the five-year average. The IASS rated 72 percent of Indiana soybean crops in good to excellent shape - 21 percent better than one year ago. Bumper crops and storage challenges would be a welcome change for farmers who've experienced less than outstanding corn and soybean yields the past few years. Recent average to below-average harvests in many Corn Belt states, coupled with rising grain demands, have depleted the nation's grain stocks.

    National Agricultural Statistics Service USDA
    Washington, D.C. 28mar02 AMSTERDAM -
    - Official prospective planting figures for genetically engineered (GE) crops have been released today by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). They reveal an increase for plantings of GE soya (up from 68 to 74 percent of the US soya acreage), cotton (up from 69 to 71 percent ) and maize/corn (up from 26 to 32 percent) in the United States in 2002. The new figures stand in contrast to a wealth of evidence that clearly demonstrates increasing worldwide rejection of GE crops. In reality, just two countries (the US and Argentina) account for 90 percent of GE crop acreage in the world. Just two crops (soya and maize/corn) account for 82 percent of that acreage. Just one company, Monsanto, accounts for 91 percent of the world total area sown to GE crops. Greenpeace spokesperson Jean-François Fauconnier said: "The increase in GE crop planting in the US is another blow to the environment, but considering the political and agricultural influence exerted by Monsanto in the US, it was not unexpected. Thankfully and more importantly, the clearer international trend, which today's figures cannot dispute, is that the growing of GE crops is isolated to a few countries and that worldwide rejection of GE crops is growing." "American shoppers are demanding safe, GE-Free food, and food companies are responding," added Charles Margulis, Greenpeace Genetic Engineering Specialist. "These companies know that Americans don't want genetic experiments in our food, and they're sending the biotech industry packing."

    Introduction It's early May, you're looking at a rather marginal alfalfa stand, the haylage silo is nearly empty, and you generally use some corn silage in the dairy ration. Here are the options: 1. Kill (plow or spray) the alfalfa stand now and plant a full-season corn hybrid, control perennial grasses and broadleaves with a post-emergence herbicide, and harvest the corn for grain or silage. 2. Wait and harvest the first-cutting of alfalfa, plow and plant a short-season corn hybrid, figure on controlling perennial grasses and broadleaves with a post-emergence herbicide, and harvest the corn for silage.

    Production Estimates and Crop Assessment Division
    Foreign Agricultural Service March 10, 2005 Brazil : 2004/05 Crop Situation Update Soybean and Corn Estimates Fall in Response to Drought The USDA currently estimates Brazil's s oybean production in 2004/05 at a record 59.0 million tons, down 4.0 million from last month owing to worsening drought conditions in southern producing states. Soybean area is estimated at a record 23.0 million hectares, up 1.5 million or 7 percent from last year. Yield is forecast at a below-average level of 2.57 tons per hectare. Total corn production is estimated at 39.5 million tons, with area forecast at 12.2 million hectares. Corn yield is currently forecast slightly above average at 3.23 tons per hectare. Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) analysts traveled through important agricultural regions in Brazil during January and February, encompassing the states of Mato Grosso, Goias, Parana, and Rio Grande do Sul. These 4 states collectively account for 75 percent of national soybean production, 45 percent summer corn, 65 percent rice, and 62 percent of the cotton crop. Northern Sector Southern Sector Major summer crops of soybean, corn, and rice were in mixed condition depending upon which state they were located in. In Parana the bulk of the state’s crops were in superb condition in early February, with strong yield potential as they entered the final seed production and maturation growth phases. Rainfall had been plentiful and well distributed this season, except in the far southern and southwestern growing areas, and soil moisture reserves were substantial throughout the majority of the state. Officials in the states agricultural agency DERAL and most major farm Cooperative’s reported that soybean and summer corn crops were expected to reach bumper proportions this season.
