Tax Options Amid Drought Conditions

Tax Options Amid Drought Conditions

A one-year tax deferral is available for all types of livestock (draft, dairy breeding and feeding) if you qualify as a cash basis farmer or rancher who sold livestock early due to drought conditions. Draft, dairy and breeding livestock producers have a second option of a four-year deferral as well. 

Additionally, crop producers can elect to defer income for crop insurance payments due to drought; however, there are a few specific caution areas of which producers should be aware before making a final decision.  

In this Center for Agricultural Profitability article, Nebraska Farm Business, Inc. Director Tina Barrett reviews all of the factors that farmers and ranchers should take into consideration before electing these tax deferrals on drought-impacted crops and livestock.

Spring weed control in winter wheat with Broadway® Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam)

Video: Spring weed control in winter wheat with Broadway® Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam)

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
