Tanner and David sit down with Kaylene Ballesteros, Go To Market Manager for Hay & Forage at ?@JohnDeere? along with Scott Briker, a cow-calf producer from Benton County, to discuss John Deere’s NEW Round Baler technology and how it’s helping producers work smarter this hay season. From Baler Weave Automation that helps guide the baler along the windrow and reduces operator fatigue, to real-time moisture and bale documentation through John Deere Operations Center, this technology is built with producers in mind. They also dive into windrowers, mower-conditioners, JDLink connectivity, and precision ag tools that help improve efficiency, bale quality, and decision-making in the field. https://www.farms.com/commentaries/the-hay-baler-technology-every-producer-needs-to-see-241839.aspx NEWS_241839 Tue, 12 May 2026 14:44:47 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/241839_thumb.jpg https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/241839_thumb.jpg 40 40 Farm Basics from Ag PhD Episode #1466 | Air Date 5/10/26 - Find out how and why farmers evaluate their crop stand shortly after planting. https://www.farms.com/commentaries/stand-counts-241837.aspx NEWS_241837 Tue, 12 May 2026 14:33:29 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/241837_thumb.jpg https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/241837_thumb.jpg 40 40 Two numbers are the big story in corn and soybeans.

With the crop drilled early and growing strongly, disease pressure is evident, but so too is strong yield potential. In the video, Sally explains the key considerations as the crop approaches T2 and outlines why Univoq™ is being considered to protect against disease and help safeguard crop performance. https://www.farms.com/commentaries/approaching-t2-in-early-drilled-winter-wheat-disease-pressure-yield-potential-and-univoq-241730.aspx NEWS_241730 Fri, 08 May 2026 15:30:58 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/241730_thumb.jpg https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/241730_thumb.jpg 40 40 Beth Cash has championed women in agriculture through entrepreneurship, economic development and community leadership in southeastern Alberta.

Cheung Lecture in Animal Science: "Using science to assess and improve the welfare of dairy cattle" Dan Weary is a Professor at the University of British Columbia. Dan did his BSc and MSc at McGill and Doctorate at Oxford before co-founding UBC’s Animal Welfare Program where he now co-directs this active research group. His research focuses on understanding the perspectives of animals and applying these insights to develop methods of assessing animal welfare and improving the lives of animals. His work has helped drive changes in practices (including the adoption of higher milk rations for calves and pain management for disbudding) and housing methods (including the adoption of social housing for pre-weaned calves). He also studies cow comfort and lameness, social interactions among cows, and interactions between cows, human handlers and technologies like automated millking systems that are increasingly used on farms. His presentation will outline key questions in cattle welfare, https://www.farms.com/commentaries/2026-t-k-cheung-lecture-in-animal-science-dan-weary-241711.aspx NEWS_241711 Fri, 08 May 2026 10:51:23 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/241711_thumb.png https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/241711_thumb.png 40 40 At OSU Agriculture’s Wheat and Forages Field Day in Chickasha, specialists are seeing signs of wheat diseases such as leaf rust in area fields. https://www.farms.com/commentaries/oklahoma-wheat-producers-watch-for-these-diseases-now-241683.aspx NEWS_241683 Fri, 08 May 2026 05:00:10 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/241683_thumb.png https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/241683_thumb.png 40 40 UM-Resources for Agricultural Engineering (UM-RAE) Webinar Series presents: "Bridging Innovation: Industry-Academic Collaboration" https://www.farms.com/commentaries/um-rae-bridging-innovation-industry-academic-collaboration-241657.aspx NEWS_241657 Thu, 07 May 2026 11:05:10 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/241657_thumb.png https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/241657_thumb.png 40 40 A survey of 200 independent seed businesses reveals what Canada's seed sector actually contributes — and what it stands to lose. In this episode of On the Brink, Justin Funk, a third-generation agri-marketer, shares the findings of a national survey conducted in early 2026. The numbers reframe the conversation: independent seed companies in Canada represent upwards of $1.7 billion in dedicated seed infrastructure, approximately 3,000 full-time equivalent jobs in rural communities, and an estimated $20 million in annual community contributions. And roughly 90% of Canada's cereals, pulses, and other small pollinated crops flow through them. The survey also asked how dependent these businesses are on public plant breeding to survive. The answer was unambiguous. For policymakers evaluating the future of publicly funded breeding programs, Funk argues the economic case for this sector and the case for public plant breeding are the same argument.
