As heading and flowering time in wheat approaches, early flowering is the time to consider spraying fungicides to protect wheat from fusarium head blight, or wheat scab. Darcy Telenko, Purdue University-Extension field crops pathologist, reported May 9 that wheat was starting to head out across central and northern Indiana, with flowering not too far behind.

Farmers optimistic as wheat harvest nears

It has been a more challenging planting season for us with the continued rainfall this spring. We started dry, but the optimism for an early planting ended about April 25. It has just continued to rain every three to five days. Most of our corn was finished April 24 and then the last wetter field on May 15.The stand on the later-planted field is much better than the April 24 and 25 planted corn, which required some replanting. The well-tiled fields are showing their value this year again.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

A team led by Purdue University soybean geneticist Jianxin Ma recently developed a new biotechnological tool for the domestication of desirable traits from wild soybeans, such as resistance to leafhopper insect pests. The use of such tools, called de novo domestication, makes it easier for scientists to engineer crop improvements from wild soybeans.
