Mid-December U.S. Agricultural Weather Brief: Regional Snapshot and 7-Day Planning Outlook

Mid-December U.S. Agricultural Weather Brief: Regional Snapshot and 7-Day Planning Outlook

Mid-December U.S. ag outlook: fast Pacific-to-Plains storm track brings West mountain snow, mixed precip north, rain South/East, with sharp temperature swings, brief hard freezes, and gusty winds. Impacts include winter wheat establishment, soil moisture recharge, livestock cold stress, freeze risks for Southeast/California. Manage wind erosion, soil compaction, icing; consult NWS/Mesonet.

Root-Zone Networks: Making the Underground IoT Practical at Farm Scale

Root-Zone Networks: Making the Underground IoT Practical at Farm Scale

Underground farm sensors are becoming viable, overcoming soil-hostile radios, power, and materials via magnetic induction, acoustic links, backscatter, and energy harvesting. Robust packaging and conservative sensing (moisture, temperature, EC) feed models for irrigation and fertilization. Surface relays and ROI from water, fertilizer, and labor drive adoption, with environmental stewardship emphasized.

Steady as She Goes: U.S. Ag Policy Holds Position as Budget, Farm Bill, and Regulatory Deadlines Approach

Steady as She Goes: U.S. Ag Policy Holds Position as Budget, Farm Bill, and Regulatory Deadlines Approach

U.S. agriculture policy saw incremental movement with no major federal changes. Budget talks and farm bill negotiations dominate, while regulatory schedules, litigation, and trade disputes continue. Program operations persist, but funding outcomes could alter timing. Watch for near-term catalysts: stopgaps, farm bill text, regulatory postings, trade signals, and animal-health alerts.

Lasers in the Lettuce: Autonomous Weeders Are Rewriting Herbicide Math

Lasers in the Lettuce: Autonomous Weeders Are Rewriting Herbicide Math

A new wave of laser-guided, camera-equipped robots is zapping weeds between crop rows, helping specialty-crop growers cut herbicide use, save labor, and boost yields—while forcing equipment makers to solve tough challenges in vision accuracy, uptime, and ROI.

Ag in History - Aug 14, 1935 — Social Security Act Signed: Farmworkers Left Out at First

Ag in History - Aug 14, 1935 — Social Security Act Signed: Farmworkers Left Out at First

On this day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act, creating federal old-age benefits and a broader social insurance framework. But the original law excluded agricultural and domestic workers, leaving much of the U.S. farm labor force outside the new safety net. Coverage was later expanded—regularly employed farm and domestic workers began to be included in 1950, and remaining groups (including many farmworkers and self-employed farmers) were brought under the program in 1954.
