Faba Bean Feed Benchmark

 
Corn, feed wheat and barley prices were all up $10-15 across the Prairies driven by higher cash corn values and concerns over lack of planting progress both in Canada and the US for the upcoming crops.
 
Corn DDGS followed the main commodities, increasing by $10-20 in all provinces. A late report out of Argentina detailing a drop in that country’s soybean harvest coupled with slow planting progress in the US caused meal prices to surge by $20-25/T across the west.
 
Canola meal values meanwhile held steady over the past two weeks. Feed peas traded in the 255-260 range in Saskatchewan, 265 in Alberta, and 265-270 in Manitoba.

Dicamba Returns for Georgia Farmers: What the New EPA Ruling Means for Cotton Growers

Video: Dicamba Returns for Georgia Farmers: What the New EPA Ruling Means for Cotton Growers

After being unavailable in 2024 due to registration issues, dicamba products are returning for Georgia farmers this growing season — but under strict new conditions.

In this report from Tifton, Extension Weed Specialist Stanley Culpepper explains the updated EPA ruling, including new application limits, mandatory training requirements, and the need for a restricted use pesticide license. Among the key changes: a cap of two ½-pound applications per year and the required use of an approved volatility reduction agent with every application.

For Georgia cotton producers, the ruling is significant. According to Taylor Sills with the Georgia Cotton Commission, the vast majority of cotton planted in the state carries the dicamba-tolerant trait — meaning farmers had been paying for technology they couldn’t use.

While environmental groups have expressed concerns over spray drift, Georgia growers have reduced off-target pesticide movement by more than 91% over the past decade. Still, this two-year registration period will come with increased scrutiny, making stewardship and compliance more important than ever.
