Production Agriculture Articles 

• Musk thistle is a troublesome weed of pastures.  However, biological controls are prevalent in the area, and do influence control decisions.
• Fescue Toxicosis The fungal endophyte of tall fescue creates a toxin resulting in poor animal health and performance. A recent study shows that we may be managing this toxin improperly. 
• Sudden Death Syndrome in Soybean This soil-borne fungus has caused extensive damage to this year's northeast Missouri soybean crop.
• Anhydrous Ammonia Safety Anhydrous ammonia is one of the most efficient and widely used sources of nitrogen for plant growth.  Anhydrous ammonia also has disadvantages especially in its handling.
• Bermudagrass Bermudagrass is a highly productive, warm-season perennial grass widely grown for hay and pasture throughout the southern United States.
• Controlling Voles Have you been wondering what those 1- to 2-inch holes in your field are lawn are from? Well, more than likely, they're caused by prairie voles. No, not moles.
• New weeds cropping up Several factors have caused a few weed species to become more prevalent in Missouri. Trends in herbicide use have triggered species such as waterhemp to become a dominant pest across the Midwest.
• Fertilizing crops Crops and crop rotations require different levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). 
• Life after C.R.P.? Basically, the program gives farmers an incentive to plant long-term covers on sensitive land to improve soil, water, and wildlife resources versus row cropping the land.
