Cereal Leaf Beetle, Biology and Management | Cereal leaf beetle, a native to Europe and Asia, was first detected
in Michigan in 1962. Since that time it has spread throughout
most of the mid-western and eastern United States and
has become a significant pest of Virginia and North Carolina
small grains. This insect can become very numerous in small
grain fields and the larvae are capable of reducing grain yield
by eating the green leaf tissue.

Grain and Soybean Production and Storage in Virginia: A Summary and Spatial Examination | Grain and soybean production is a critical component
of Virginia agriculture — the state’s No. 1 industry
(VDACS 2013). Virginia’s farmers produced more
than half a billion bushels of grain and soybeans over
the span of 2006 to 2012 (USDA-NASS 2013b)1. The
objectives of this publication are to characterize the
market for grain production and storage in Virginia. |

2014 Virginia On-Farm Small Grain Test Plots | The demonstration and research plot results discussed in this publication are a cooperative effort by six Virginia Cooperative Extension agents, extension specialists from Virginia Tech, and an assistant professor at the Virginia State University School of Agriculture. We are proud to present this year’s on farm small grain plot work to you. We hope the information in this publication will help farmers produce a profitable crop in 2015. |

Weed Control in Hops | Because hops are long-lived perennials, controlling weeds near plants without causing injury can
be challenging. Furthermore, empty spaces between rows can quickly become filled with weeds if
left unmanaged. Growers therefore need a year-round weed management plan. An important part of that plan is identifying the common weeds at the site and understanding their life cycles. Once
weeds have been identified, a management plan can be developed using cultural, chemical, or
integrated approaches. |

Virginia On-Farm Soybean Test Plots 2016 | These demonstration and research plot results are a collaborative effort of Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) Agents and Specialists, area producers, and agribusiness. The purpose of this publication is to provide research-based information to aid in the decision-making process for soybean producers in Virginia. It provides an unbiased evaluation of varieties, management practices, and new technologies through on-farm replicated research using producer equipment and time. These experiments enable producers to make better management decisions based on research and provide greater opportunities to improve yields and profits, which improves quality of life for them and their families. |

Double Cropping Soybeans In Virginia | Double cropping is simply growing and harvesting two
crops in one year. In the mid-Atlantic region of the United
States, soybeans are commonly double-cropped after a
winter small-grain crop, usually wheat. However, double
cropping is not limited to the small-grain-soybean system.
Other crops, such as grain sorghum or even corn, could
fit into a double-cropping system with small grains.
Soybean can be grown after other winter crops, such
as canola, or after a spring crop, such as snap beans.
As long as both crops can complete their development
in time to allow profitable production of the entire system,
numerous double-cropping systems are possible. |

Virginia Cover Crops Fact Sheet Series No. 1: Beneficial Uses of Cover Crops | The general purpose of a cover crop is to improve the soil, the broader
environment, or other crops in rotation, not for direct harvest. Cover
crops, depending on which are selected, are capable of providing many
diverse assets. This publication provides a short description of these
main benefits. |

Virginia Cover Crops Fact Sheet Series No. 2: Cover Crop Performance Evaluation in Field and Controlled Studies | Cover crops increase soil organic matter, reduce erosion, suppress weeds,
forage for nutrients, and reduce fertilizer costs (Clark, 2007). Cover
crop species vary greatly and provide varied benefits. Performance
evaluation of cover crop species and mixtures is needed in Virginia. |

Nitrogen and Sulfur Leaching Potential in Virginia | Early summer often means locally heavy and sporadic rainfall as thunderstorms deliver intense rains, and 2015 appears to be no different with many areas in eastern Virginia receiving 3+ inches of rain in a few days (Figure 1). These storms also often coincide with the timing of sidedress nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) applications on corn. While some rainfall after sidedress is very beneficial to facilitate N movement into soil, heavy rain (2+ inches) often leaves us wondering how much, if any, of that recently-applied N remains and if additional N is needed. |

The Nutrient Value of Straw | The mature and dried stem, leaves, and chaff remaining after barley and wheat are harvested is known as straw. Many farmers around Virginia harvest straw by baling in small bales, large round bales, or large square bales that range in weight from 40 to 1,000 lbs. plus per bale. |

Virginia Tech Corn Silage Testing 2015 | This report contains the results for performance trials from commercial corn
hybrids produced for silage at four locations in Virginia in 2015 as well as
two and three year average performance, when available. In order to avoid
problems with comparisons over sites and years, multi-year yields are
presented as a percentage of the total called relative yield at that
particular site-year combination. All locations were planted with a
Wintersteiger PlotKing 2600 planter and harvested with commercial silage
equipment. Yields are presented on a dry matter and 35% dry matter basis for
comparison. Quality analysis was performed using a Foss NIR XDS Rapid
Content Analyzer. All hybrids entered in the Virginia trials were submitted
for testing by commercial companies. The locations at which particular
hybrids were entered were specified by the company. Companies entering
hybrids were charged a fee for each hybrid per location to support the
Virginia Corn Silage Performance Trials. |

Virginia Corn Hybrid and Management Trials in 2015 | Performance trials of commercial corn hybrids were conducted at six locations
in Virginia in 2015. The Mt. Holly location consisted of both an irrigated
and non-irrigated test. All locations were planted with a Wintersteiger
PlotKing 2600. All locations were harvested with a Massey-Ferguson 8XP plot
combine. Yields have been adjusted to 15.5% moisture. Grain test weight,
moisture, and plot grain weights were measured with a GrainGauge®
manufactured by HarvestMaster. A list of the companies participating in the
trials is shown in the above table. All hybrids entered in the Virginia
trials were those submitted by commercial companies. The locations at which
particular hybrids were entered were specified by the company. Companies
entering hybrids were charged a fee for each hybrid per location to support
the Virginia Corn Hybrid and Management Trials. |

Yellow Corn in Virginia – Spring 2017 | According to Meteorologist Scott Minnick with the NOAA-National Weather Service in Wakefield, VA, May 2017 is “yet another wet and cloudy May for the record books. With the rain on [May 31, 2017], Norfolk moved up to the 3rd wettest May on record.” The 2017 growing year is almost identical to last year (the wettest May on record for Norfolk, VA), with a dry March and April leading into a record breaking cool and wet May as corn tries to establish roots. Young corn largely depends on residual and starter fertilizer prior to sidedress applications and these fractions can be impacted greatly with excessive rain. |
