The USDA weekly Indiana Ag Report says that Hoosier farmers expect to harvest nearly 5. 4 million acres of corn which is up 250 thousand acres from last year.

The soybean yield is anticipated to be nearly 5.5 million acres of soybeans, which is down 350 thousand acres from last year.

The crops in Indiana were planted earlier than normal this year and then weather turned very dry in May.

Substantial rainfall was scarce in June and when farmers were starting to lose hope the precipitation returned in July as did good temperatures and the crops responded favorably.

Video: New Solution Powers Efficient Pork Growth

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
