Corn Production for 2013 – Dewey Lee « Seminole Crop E News

Posted by romeethredge , 2013

We had an excellent corn production meeting here last week with Dr Dewey Lee, UGA Extension Grains Scientist giving some good info on how to improve yields and efficiency in corn production. We have a link below to see his presentation in another county that was very similar to the one given here. So if you missed our meeting or if you want to review some parts, just click below.

County Agent Glenn Beard in Colquitt County provided us with the link to Dr. Dewey Lee’s Corn Talk recently. Just click on the link below and you can watch it on your computer.

Corn in a changing climate: Adaptive ability of crops can reduce damages from warming weather

The past year has not been kind to corn. Though it has long been the nation's largest crop, the one-two punch of historic drought and record-high temperatures in July and August combined to damage U.S. corn crops, which fell by as much as 13 percent. Previous studies have suggested that weather-related damage is linked to climate change, and have warned that losses like those of the past year could become the norm by 2030. But the effects of weather and climate can differ because the latter can be adapted to more readily.

Drought Still Grips Corn Belt -- dry winter adds to farmers' fears - U.S. News

By Christine Stebbins, Reuters

CHICAGO -- The U.S. Corn Belt - the world's top grain region - is seeing another dry winter after the worst summer drought in half a century, reducing prospects for a bumper summer harvest that would help ease global food prices, crop and climate experts said.

"We are still concerned about getting the leftovers out of the way from the drought of 2012. At this time we would not anticipate a national corn yield above the trend," said Iowa State University climatologist Elwynn Taylor, who has studied crop production for decades. "Rather, we would expect a fourth consecutive year of below-trend crop, not as far below as in 2012 but still not up to par."

The 2012 drought locked two-thirds of the U.S. continental land mass in severe drought last summer, cutting production of the biggest crop, corn, by 27 percent from early season estimates.

The U.S. supplies more than half of world exports of corn, which is the top livestock feed for meat and dairy animals, the main feedstock for ethanol production, and the leading ingredient in dozens of food and industrial products from vegetable oil to sweeteners, paints and plastics. As such, its price is a key for food inflation and its supply outlook is closely watched by Federal Reserve policymakers, bankers, farm suppliers and food processors.

Climate Change Threatens Corn Crops

by Tom Marshall
A warming world is putting crops at risk, according to scientists who studied how the weather affects French maize yields.
If climate-change projections are right, we'll need to improve yields per acre by as much as 12 per cent between 2016 and 2035 just to maintain today's total production.

The results reveal a real threat to our food supply in the coming decades. It turns out that maize yields drop significantly for every day when temperatures climb over around 32°C, and that heat stress has been as important an influence on maize yield as variation in rainfall since the turn of the century.

Over the past 50 years, the average number of days over this dangerous threshold has already risen from around three per year to more than five, and it is predicted to grow to around ten a year over the next two decades. In some major maize-growing regions it could be as much as 15 days per year above this damaging threshold.

The Next Step in Eye Care? Corn, Study Says | University of Guelph

March 06, 2013 - News Release

Corn could offer a solution to vision problems that many people face as they age, according to a new study from the University of Guelph.

Researchers at Guelph bred a new strain of corn to contain the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect eyes. The corn was fed to chickens that laid eggs rich in these helpful carotenoids. The researchers speculated that the carotenoids in the egg yolk would be more concentrated and absorbed better than those ingested directly from corn.

In age-related macular degeneration, a progressive eye disease that is the leading cause of blindness in older adults, the eyes are low in lutein and zeaxanthin. Doctors routinely recommend eating leafy greens, the only other vegetables rich in these antioxidants.

Postive Predictions for 2013 Corn Crop - KIMT.com – Iowa & Minnesota Together

MASON CITY, IA - We've been telling you about the latest in ethanol production and how the industry in the midwest has been slowing down all because of a lack of corn. But there may be a silver lining.

It may still be winter outdoors, but inside, local farmer Kevin Pope is hard at work prepping for spring planting time.

He's hoping this season turns out better than this last harvest.

He said, "It was definitely a short crop."

Despite the drought, he's following a routine thats proven to work.

"Just shop work and trying to get equipment ready to go. You know, farmers usually plan for the best and deal with the bad as it comes along."

Luckily the 2013 corn crop predictions are looking pretty bright.

Herbicide Options For Corn That Will Be Double Cropped With Soybeans in 2013 | UT Crops News

Author: Larry Steckel, Extension Weed Specialist 1 Comment

There have been a number of calls from folks who are tentatively planning to double crop soybean behind their corn crop this year. Several farmers did this last year and were able to plant soybeans in July after the corn was harvested.  In several cases the double crop soybeans made in the 30 bushel range. The question I get from these folks is what herbicides can they use in corn and come back with soybeans in July? That quick a turnaround to soybeans eliminates our main corn “go to” herbicides like atrazine, Halex GT , Lexar, Capreno or even Impact.  The plant back to soybean from atrazine is one year and for these other bleaching-based herbicides is 9 to 10 months.  There are several good options that can provide weed control in corn where soybeans can be planted in July.  Be sure if you go this route to plan to start off clean with tillage or a good burndown.  Then, to acquire the most consistent control with the limitations on herbicide options, plan to utilize a herbicide program that utilizes a pre plant or pre emerge herbicide followed by something post emergence. A couple of suggestions are listed below. READ MORE :

DuPont Pioneer doubles amount of Aquamax drought-tolerant corn hybrids for 2013 | Corn hybrids content from Farm Industry News

At a recent media event in Johnston, Iowa, DuPont Pioneer announced that it is doubling the number of Optimum Aquamax drought-tolerant corn hybrids from 22 in 2012 to 44 in 2013. With the U.S. Drought monitor continuing to show drought as a major problem well into this month, more and more growers are asking about drought-tolerant hybrids, says Reed Mayberry, senior marketing manager, DuPont Pioneer. 

In addition to doubling the number of drought-tolerant hybrids this year, the company also says it is tripling the amount of acres that will be planted to Aquamax in 2013.

High-Fructose Corn Syrup Consumption Plummets In America Amid Backlash

The decline follows several years of bad press for high-fructose corn syrup. Some have attacked it as bad-tasting, while many have argued that eating it is bad for your health. One recent study suggested that the brains of people who ate lots of fructosedon't register as satiated, while another demonstrated a correlation between high-fructose corn syrup consumption and higher rates of type 2 diabetes.

The corn industry has responded to this PR onslaught by claiming that high-fructose corn syrup had been "unfairly maligned," and that it is no worse for human health than any other kind of sweetener. Some studies have supported this argument.

USDA’s 2013-14 Projections for Corn, Soybeans - The Bioenergy Site

Based on a model estimated over the period 1988 through 2012, the USDA projects the 2013 US average corn yield at 163.6 bushels per acre. The model incorporates trend, planting progress, and summer weather variables to explain average yield. The 2013 projection assumes normal planting progress, no extreme June dryness, and average summer weather. The forecast is higher than most other forecasts, including ours. Using a longer time period, and the application of a different weather model, our analysis points to a 2013 yield near 160 bushels.
