Virginia Farm to Table: Grains | In this session, we will learn about the Common Grain Alliance and learn about how grains are grown and harvested. We will then take a virtual tour of Ardent Mills in Culpeper, Virginia to learn how grain is milled into flour. Finally, we will learn how Great Day Gardens makes scones with 100% locally-grown grains. |

Growing Bread Wheat in the Mid-Atlantic Region | The more than 55 million people who live in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States want to purchase processed grain foods such as bread and other dough products made from hard, or bread, wheat. To meet this demand, regional mills import bread wheat, which comes almost exclusively from the Plains states. These imports make up approximately 30 percent of the total grain needed for the region. |

Nitrogen Management for Winter Wheat: Principles and Recommendations | Efficient nitrogen (N) fertilization is crucial for economic wheat production and protection of ground and surface waters. Excessive plant-available N produces wheat plants that are susceptible to lodging and disease with resulting decreased yields and increased input costs. The potential for enrichment of ground and surface waters with nitrates also increases with excessive N fertilizer applications. |

Nitrogen and Phosphorous Fertilization of Corn | Corn must have adequate amounts of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) for profitable production. Nitrogen and phosphorus are also the nutrients that produce excessive algae growth in surface waters when concentrations increase above certain critical levels. Profitable and environmentally sensitive corn production requires that N and P be managed in an efficient manner. Economic returns from the use of these nutrients can be maximized, while the potential for surface and groundwater enrichment with N and P can be minimized with the use of appropriate technology. Available technology includes soil testing to evaluate residual soil nutrient supplies, and the use of proper application rates, methods, and timings. |

Successful No-Tillage Corn Production | No-tillage corn production has been practiced in Virginia for more than 35 years (Jones et al. 1968), yet many producers have not used no-tillage to its maximum advantage. This publication addresses where no-tillage corn can and should be adopted, and where no-tillage production needs to be modified to reduce production problems associated with continuous use. |

Understanding Pre-harvest Sprouting of Wheat | Germination of wheat within the grain head before harvest is called pre-harvest sprouting (PHS). Periods of prolonged rainfall and high humidity after the grain has ripened and before it can be harvested can contribute to PHS, which can be thought of as a premature germination. |

importance with the anal pore (a tan to orange spot
best seen with microscope, but can be seen with a hand
lens) on the upper surface of the abdomen. |

Cereal Leaf Beetle, Biology and Management | Cereal leaf beetle, a native to Europe and Asia, was first detected
in Michigan in 1962. Since that time it has spread throughout
most of the mid-western and eastern United States and
has become a significant pest of Virginia and North Carolina
small grains. This insect can become very numerous in small
grain fields and the larvae are capable of reducing grain yield
by eating the green leaf tissue.

Grain and Soybean Production and Storage in Virginia: A Summary and Spatial Examination | Grain and soybean production is a critical component
of Virginia agriculture — the state’s No. 1 industry
(VDACS 2013). Virginia’s farmers produced more
than half a billion bushels of grain and soybeans over
the span of 2006 to 2012 (USDA-NASS 2013b)1. The
objectives of this publication are to characterize the
market for grain production and storage in Virginia. |

Soybean Reproductive Development Stages | Remove the soybean plant at ground level to make it easier to stage. Examine each main stem node one at a time to determine the development stage. Focus on the top four nodes that contain fully developed leaves (shown below). A fully developed leaf is one that is located immediately below a node containing a leaf with unrolled or unfolded leaflets (leaflet edges are no longer touching). The soybean crop is considered to be at a particular stage when 50% of the plants reach that stage. Listed with stage description for R1 through R6 are the approximate number of days to R7, or physiological maturity, for full season (FS) soybean planted in May and double crop (DC) soybean planted in June/July. |

The Nutrient Value of Straw | The mature and dried stem, leaves, and chaff remaining after barley and wheat are harvested is known as straw.

2023 Virginia On-Farm Soybean Research | These demonstration and research results are a collaborative effort of Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) Agents and Specialists, Virginia producers, and agribusiness. The purpose of this publication is to provide research-based information to aid in the decision-making process for soybean producers in Virginia. It provides an unbiased evaluation of varieties, management practices, and new technologies through on-farm replicated research using producer equipment and time. These experiments enable producers to make better management decisions based on research and provide greater opportunities to improve yields and profits, which improves quality of life for them and their families. |
