The middle week is bustling full of news.

Here’s a roundup of the most recent headlines.

Ukraine and Russia

Iurii Mykhailov is a Kyiv resident who is also the Successful Farming correspondent. He provides an update about the situation in Ukraine. He stated that the Ukrainians are determined to defend their homeland like crazy until the end.

This article contains Mykhailov’s insight into the country’s survival strategies, war tolls, and impact on agriculture.

Avian Influenza

The USDA’s Plant Health Inspection Service confirmed the presence highly pathogenic Avian Influenza in two non-commercial backyard poultry flocks (non poultry) in Connecticut, and Iowa.  

Iowa’s virus was discovered in a backyard flock in Pottawattamie County.

This is in addition to a sixth turkey farm in southern Indiana with identified cases as of Tuesday.

Crop Production

Chelsea Dinterman, Editor, reports on Bayer’s announcement regarding the TriVolt selective Corn herbicide.

“We are excited to add TriVolt corn herbicide to our broad portfolio solutions. Weeds are almost always a constant threat,” says Robert Schrick, Bayer Crop Protection Strategic Business Lead, in a news release. “TriVolt can help growers ensure they start with clean fields and stay clean by getting ahead of weeds before they can compete with their crops.”

Bayer also announced that it received EPA commercial registrations to allow the U.S. commercialization for its newest corn product VT4PRO with RNAi.

VT4PRO technology is Trecepta’s first product to combine all three modes of Trecepta technology’s built-in action. They include an above ground corn pest package that kills insects like western bean cutworm and corn earworm, as well as an RNAi-based mode that manages corn rootworm.

AMVAC and Azotic North America are collaborating to develop and commercialize the nitrogen-fixation product Envita to the SIMPAS-applied Solutions portfolio.

Envita is a naturally occurring food-grade bacteria that allows a to fix nitrogen (N), say company officials. Envita may be applied in-furrow by farmers to multiple crops, including soybeans and corn.

Fertilizer

U.S. firms should give farmers a break by withdrawing anti-dumping duties petitions on imported fertilizer.

NCGA and state affiliates have made “a direct request of those companies to voluntarily withdraw their tariff petitions,” said Chris Edgington, president of the National Corn Growers Association.

Koch Ag & Energy Solutions (Koch) and OCP have signed an agreement under which a Koch affiliate will acquire a 50% interest in Jorf Fertilizers Company III (JFC III) from OCP, the world’s largest phosphate mining and leading global fertilizer group.

The transaction will create a 50/50 joint-venture when it is completed.   

JFC III is the owner and operator of an integrated phosphate fertilizer plant in Jorf Lasfar Morocco. It can produce up 1.1 million metric tonnes annually of phosphate based fertilizers.

Equipment & Technology

Editor Alex Gray writes about John Deere’s W200 series M and R windrowers, which are designed for quick dry down, fast transport speeds and easy, in-cab windrow width adjustments.

“John Deere W200 series M and R windrowers provide customers with the unmatched ability to get the most from every acre, at reduced acquisition and operating costs,” says Chase Milem, John Deere hay and forage marketing manager.

Precision Planting presented the new Vision system at their 2022 Winter Conference.

This video features Bryce Baker, marketing manager. He gives a close-up look at the Vision module to see how it could be of benefit to farmers in the future.
