The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History has unveiled a new website where the public can upload stories about technologies and innovation that have changed their work lives in agriculture – stories about precision farming, food-borne illness tracking, government practices, irrigation and hybrid seeds.
The National Hay Association’s technology committee has recently launched a new website. The new format allows users to browse NHA history, code of ethics, by-laws, member photos, videos and upcoming events.
When cattle producers and forage experts in the southeastern U.S. talk about the toughest pasture weeds to control, smutgrass is always near the top of the list.
Pervasive cheatgrass has long posed a threat to ranchers and their communities in the intermountain West.
Edging out native perennials and taking over entire rangelands, the annual weed compromises forage value for livestock, destabilizes soil, increases risk of wildfire and diminishes wildlife habitat.

A multi-disciplinary team of researchers has proposed a model that provides forecasts of crop yields prior to the end of the crop season – and could potentially provide such estimates even before the season starts. For Jerry Hatfield, co-author of the paper and plant physiologist at the USDA – Agricultural Research Services, the purpose of the model is simple.
