Scientists take step to improve crops’ photosynthesis, yields
Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) are known to photosynthesize more efficiently than most crops, so researchers are working to put elements from cyanobacteria into crop plants. A new study describes a significant step towards achieving that goal. “Absence of Carbonic Anhydrase in Chloroplasts Affects C3 Plant Development but Not Photosynthesis,” published August 11 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Improving soil carbon measurements to empower African smallholders
The amount of carbon in farm soils is important to farmers. Soils with high carbon contents tend to provide better yields. They also tend to be more resilient to weather-related crop failure. But

GM maize progresses in Nigeria as farmers struggle with drought and insect pests - Alliance for Science
As farmer Ahiaba Sylvanus recalls, it never used to be necessary to spray maize, millet and guinea corn with pesticides in the Nigerian state of Kaduna, where he lives. But the recent long drought, likely resulting from climate change, weakened the cereal crops, which were then attacked by insects. “Maize is a very important crop […]

New imaging, machine-learning methods speed effort to reduce crops’ need for water
Scientists have developed and deployed a series of new imaging and machine-learning tools to discover attributes that contribute to water-use efficiency in crop plants during photosynthesis and to reveal the genetic basis of variation in those traits.

Discovery of mobile disease detectors in plants could boost crop resilience - My Droll
Credit: CC0 Public Domain A study of how plants identify and react to invading pathogens using mobile disease detectors could help researchers breed disease-resistant crops. Many important crop plants can be devastated by pathogens including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Knowing exactly how some plants respond could give researchers the information to breed crops with the […]

Baling Hay on a Small Dairy Farm l Small Squares l 2nd Crop 2021 l Dairy Farming in Wisconsin
Dairy farming in Wisconsin! Watch my family and I start making 2nd crop hay. We are using our two New Holland Rolabar rakes as well as our two New Holland small square balers! The tractors pulling the rakes were a 1650 Oliver and a Farmall Super M TA. The tractors pulling the balers were a 686 International and a 7810 John Deere. I hope you all enjoy the video! Thank you for watching!
