Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Headland Highlights: Southeast Minnesota Update with Ryan Miller
Q: What insects are you watching for as planting resumes?
Scouting focuses on black cutworm and true armyworm, with moth activity tied to overnight temperatures; local updates suggest a cautious outlook as warmer weather could boost activity and risk.
Headland Highlights: Southeast Minnesota Update with Ryan Miller
Q: What kind of field activity have you seen prior to this weather, and how does that influence planting plans?
There has been a slow start with some fertilizer applications, light tillage, and early planting in pockets, but substantial field work remains limited by cool temperatures and recent wet conditions; timing close to planting is emphasized for nitrogen management.
Headland Highlights: Southeast Minnesota Update with Ryan Miller
Q: So how do things look down there in the Southeast, Ryan?
Ryan describes wet, saturated soils from recent rainfall and notes that while there was some residual movement of residue, overall infiltration and recharge occurred, with planting still limited by the conditions.
Unlocking the Soybean Genome: Genetics and Engineering with Dr. Bob Stupar
Q: What are the biggest near-term goals in your research program?
Continued work on genes that improve seed quality, yield protection traits like iron deficiency chlorosis and aphid resistance, and expanding our understanding of plant architecture to push productivity.
Unlocking the Soybean Genome: Genetics and Engineering with Dr. Bob Stupar
Q: What happens when you find a gene linked to a trait—what's the next step in validating it?
We map the gene, narrow down candidate sequences, and then engineer or test the gene to confirm its role, providing a proof of concept and assessing potential benefits for farmers.
