Description In endometriosis, the cells that form the endometrium grow outside of the uterus usually in the abdomen, pelvis fallopian tubes, or ovaries. However, the endometrial tissue can grow anywhere [...]

The article discusses the results of the National Wheat Yield Contest, which recognizes high-yielding wheat growers. Chris Gross, a member of the Spokane Hutterian Brethren community, won top honors in the irrigated winter wheat category with a yield just over 210 bushels per acre. Other winners included Dick Judah in the dryland winter wheat category, Dallin Wilcox in the irrigated spring wheat category, and Brad Disrud in the dryland spring wheat category. The article highlights the farming practices and varieties used by each winner to achieve their high yields. [Extracted from the article]

This article discusses the importance of wheat in agriculture and its various uses. It highlights the different regions in the United States where wheat is grown, with states like Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas leading in wheat acreage. Wheat is grown in 42 states in the US and on six continents worldwide. The article also mentions the six distinct classes of wheat, each with specific end uses, and the potential for increased yield and innovation in wheat genetics. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers have discovered a new gene, GmSNAP02, that may help protect soybean crops from soybean cyst nematode (SCN). By introducing a dysfunctional copy of this gene, scientists hope to render the nematodes ineffective in accessing the plant. This discovery is important because the overuse of PI 88788 genetic resistance in soybean varieties has led to a decrease in its effectiveness, and alternative modes of resistance, such as Peking-based resistance, are needed. The addition of a nonfunctioning copy of GmSNAP02 could enhance the nematode resistance of Peking and improve the long-term management of SCN. [Extracted from the article]

This article from Progressive Farmer discusses the steps farmers can take to control soybean cyst nematode (SCN) infestations. The article emphasizes the importance of testing for SCN and continuing to monitor and test for the pest, as it can be patchy in the field. The article suggests rotating crops, managing resistance through genetic diversity, treating seeds, keeping equipment clean, and remaining optimistic about future solutions. The article also mentions the development of a genetically modified solution for nematode control by BASF. Overall, the article provides practical advice for farmers dealing with SCN infestations and highlights the ongoing research and efforts to combat the pest. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the importance of addressing mental health issues in the farming community. It highlights the personal experiences of two farmers, Bob Worth and Nathan Brown, who have struggled with depression and have sought help. Both farmers emphasize the need for farmers to reach out for support and not suffer in silence. They also stress the importance of reducing the stigma associated with seeking help and increasing access to mental health resources in rural areas. [Extracted from the article]

This article discusses the unique challenges and stressors faced by women in agriculture. It highlights the common stressors shared by both male and female farmers, such as financial concerns and work-life balance, but also emphasizes the additional responsibilities and roles that women often shoulder, such as caretaking. The article also mentions the lack of knowledge and research on the specific stresses faced by female farmers, prompting researchers from the University of Iowa to create a survey tool to quantify these issues. The article concludes with recommendations for seeking support and self-management practices to cope with stress. [Extracted from the article]
