Abnormally Dry Conditions Expand Slightly

By Pam Knox
 
The latest Drought Monitor shows that at this time there is no drought in the Southeast (not a big surprise after all our rain) but abnormally dry conditions in western Alabama and eastern Georgia have expanded. I expect the dry conditions in western Alabama to go away after Hurricane Delta moves onshore tomorrow and brings a swath of rain across LA, MS, and AL before moving to the northeast and weakening to a post-tropical depression. I am not looking forward to my drive from Ohio to Georgia on Sunday through all that rain!

Seed Testing: Regulatory Cost or Competitive Advantage?

Video: Seed Testing: Regulatory Cost or Competitive Advantage?

Most seed companies see testing as a regulatory box to check.

But what if it’s actually one of your strongest competitive advantages?

In this conversation with Amanda Patin, North America Business Development Director for US Crop Science at SGS, we dig into what seed testing really reveals, far beyond germination and a lab report. From seed vigor and mechanical damage to stress performance and pathogen pressure, Patin explains how deeper testing can help companies differentiate their seed, protect value, and drive real return on investment.

If seed testing is something you only think about when you have to, this discussion might change how you see and use it.
