“Statewide testing of 1,624 symptomatic samples in Nebraska (2023-2025) found wheat curl mite-transmitted viruses widespread not just in wheat but in cereal forage and cover crops: rye (80%), triticale (93%), and barley (72%) were infected with wheat streak mosaic virus and/or Triticum mosaic virus. Virus sequences were nearly identical across hosts, meaning these cereal cover and forage crops act as a green bridge that carries wheat streak mosaic disease into the next wheat crop — plan termination timing and crop choice accordingly.”

“County-level life cycle modeling shows Illinois maize has a carbon intensity 9%-12% below the US average of 251 g CO2e/kg, and maize grown within 56 km of ethanol plants is 14%-17% lower, driven by high yields and efficient fertilizer use. National average CI values understate the climate performance of high-yielding regions, and cover crops and conservation tillage shift scores differently from county to county.”

“Leaf-surface bacterial loads and communities shifted strongly by crop and season in Minnesota: corn carried the highest Methylobacterium and total bacterial loads (rising as plants senesced), while the overwintering cover crop pennycress had the lowest loads and most distinct community. Despite these differences, a small core of genera (Methylobacterium, Sphingomonas, Pseudomonas, Massilia) dominated all three crops, pointing to versatile strains that could be developed as plant growth promoters.”

“Thirty years of expanding winter cover cropping and other conservation practices in Nebraska's Shell Creek watershed coincided with less frequent extreme flood events and downward trends in turbidity, total suspended solids, and total phosphorus — though the water quality declines were not statistically significant. Summer cropping intensified over the same period, showing conservation gains happened alongside, not instead of, production.”

“In a 2022 survey of 1,119 farmers across MN, NE, ND, and SD, only 15% used biofertilizers, but 88% of those users planned to keep using them and 20% of non-users wanted to try them within three years. Adopters tended to be younger, farm larger acreages, value workshops for learning, and already use cover crops, no-till, and soil nutrient testing — suggesting biofertilizers fit into a broader conservation package rather than standing alone.”

“Machine learning models built from agronomic, drone, and environmental data predicted sorghum grain quality traits accurately enough to cut lab testing — crude protein R²=0.90, amylose R²=0.92-0.99, starch R²=0.80, with lysine-from-protein weakest at R²=0.64. Grain composition shifted measurably with year and management (precision N, cover crops, no-till), and leaf temperature and stomatal conductance had strong non-linear links to amylose.”

“Paired on-farm sampling to 1 m across 22 regenerative vs. conventional field pairs in Iowa and southern Minnesota showed that historical sheet and rill erosion is a major driver of soil carbon differences; adding RUSLE2 erosion estimates to DayCent lifted agreement between measured and modeled SOC stocks from R² 0.27 to 0.74, especially on gentle 2–4° slopes.”

Carbon SequestrationMinnesota

“Across 50 commercial corn-belt fields in Ohio and Indiana, manure application rate was the strongest and most consistent driver of better soil health across six indicators (organic matter, respiration, POX-C, protein, aggregate stability, bulk density). Reduced tillage helped soil protein and respiration but lowered POX-C, while living cover and crop diversity showed little measurable effect; soil texture explained much of the field-to-field variation, and using 5 years of management history predicted better than 3.”

“A yield-correlated minimum soil dataset — total organic carbon, microbial biomass carbon, active carbon, total nitrogen and aggregate stability — tracked full-dataset soil quality scores closely (R² 0.53–0.93) and beat the usual PCA-selected indicator set. Pairing linear scoring that uses threshold limits with simple additive indexing kept soil quality index values within ±1% of the full dataset, giving farmers and advisers a cheaper, transferable way to rate soil quality across corn–soybean sites in Alabama, Indiana and Ohio.”

“Sunn hemp grew as a viable warm-season forage/cover crop in Maine, yielding 4296 kg DM/ha in a normal year but only 1099 kg DM/ha under 2025 drought; drought actually raised the share of nitrogen fixed from the air (52% vs 34%) and boosted crude protein and digestibility. Cut at 60 days for high-quality feed or 90 days for maximum cover crop biomass (though lignin rises and digestibility drops), and choose 'Crescent Sunn' or 'Loei' over 'Red Mini'.”

“Cutting irrigation to 50% of crop ET over six years in Utah barely changed soil organic matter or aggregate stability, though warmer Cedar City saw ACE protein drop from 1.57 to 1.41 g/kg and Vernal soil respiration was 28% higher under full irrigation. Cover cropping was the standout for infiltration, raising field-saturated hydraulic conductivity to 24.62 cm/h versus 5.55 (tilled) and 3.42 (no-till) cm/h.”

“Across 10 long-term Arkansas row-crop trials, soil health indicators (CO2 respiration, β-glucosidase, POXC, organic matter) and composite scores were highest in the top 0-5 cm and declined with depth, and were higher in summer and winter samples than in spring or fall (fall lowest). Cover crops and fertilized treatments scored better than winter fallow and unfertilized plots, so soil health monitoring needs standardized sampling depth and season to make valid comparisons.”

“Twenty-seven years of organic no-till in central Ohio, comparing compost, manure, cover crop and fallow treatments, produced measurable differences in soil physical quality — bulk density, penetration resistance, water-stable aggregates, saturated hydraulic conductivity, organic carbon and plant-available water — at two depths, combined into a single soil physical quality index. The dataset offers a rare long-term benchmark for how organic amendments and continuous cover shape soil structure and water-holding ability.”

“After 27 years of no-till in central Ohio, annual cow manure (23.3 Mg/ha/yr) gave the highest plant-available water capacity in the top 20 cm (5.14 cm) and the highest surface water content (44.4% at pF 1.8) versus 35.8% under cover crops, mainly by building storage (meso) pores and lowering bulk density. Compost showed poorer pore-structure response, suggesting clogged mesopores, so manure was the more reliable amendment for improving water delivery.”

“On a poorly drained no-till Wisconsin field, surface-applied composted or fresh dairy manure (81-102 kg total N/ha) did not match sidedressed urea at 90 kg N/ha for corn yield or nitrogen uptake, and left lower plant-available N in the top 10 cm. An interseeded annual ryegrass cover crop cost nothing in yield or N uptake and cut nitrate-N leachate concentrations by 1.7-4.9 times.”

“Cereal rye alone or in a mix with crimson clover and hairy vetch pushed back the critical timing for weed removal in soybean by about 2 weeks compared to winter fallow, and shrank the critical weed-control window (2019: 0 wk for rye alone and 4.8 wk for the mix vs. 5.1 wk fallow; 2020: 0.1 and 1.4 wk vs. 2.6 wk). Single-species cereal rye gave the strongest early-season weed suppression, giving growers more flexibility in timing herbicide or other weed control passes.”

“Cover crops help suppress weed growth by making weeds smaller and weaker, although they may not reduce the total number of weeds. Fast-growing grass cover crops, such as cereal rye, provide better weed control than most mixed or broadleaf cover crops because they produce more biomass and form a thick mulch. Farmers should aim for a dense cover crop stand, use timely sowing and termination, and combine cover crops with herbicides or cultivation as part of an integrated weed management strategy for the best long-term results.”

“After 27 years of no-till in central Ohio, compost and manure raised topsoil (0-20 cm) carbon stocks about 66%-67% above fallow, with compost sequestering 0.85 Mg C/ha/yr and manure adding the most nitrogen (0.061 Mg N/ha/yr); cover crops alone gave a smaller 21%-27% gain. Higher soil carbon tracked better aggregate stability (R2 = 0.76) and lower bulk density, though compost also pushed up salinity near the surface.”
