Purdue University Researchers Seek Solutions for Increasing Burcucumber Infestations in Indiana Corn

Purdue University Researchers Seek Solutions for Increasing Burcucumber Infestations in Indiana Corn

Purdue University researchers, funded by the Indiana Corn Marketing Council, have initiated on-farm research to combat the growing problem of burcucumber (Sicyos angulatus) in Indiana cornfields. This aggressive weed significantly reduces corn grain and silage yields by approximately 20% on average and causes severe lodging, harvest delays, and mechanical interference with equipment. A single burcucumber vine can weigh up to 190 pounds and produce nearly 80,000 seeds, making even low infestations highly detrimental to harvest efficiency and profitability. Current management strategies, primarily designed for early-season control, have proven ineffective against late-emerging burcucumber, which germinates throughout the growing season even in heavily shaded corn canopies. The new research aims to identify effective late-season management options to reduce vegetation, improve harvestability, and limit seed production to decrease the weed seedbank in the soil. This project directly responds to concerns voiced...

Indiana Governor Announces $19 Million Federal Funding for Workforce Training and Apprenticeship Expansion

Indiana Governor Announces $19 Million Federal Funding for Workforce Training and Apprenticeship Expansion

Indiana Governor Mike Braun has announced nearly $19 million in federal funding aimed at bolstering workforce training programs and expanding apprenticeship opportunities across the state. This significant investment is designed to connect more Hoosiers with careers in high-demand industries. The funding will support four key initiatives: registered apprenticeships, special education teacher preparation, reentry employment for justice-involved adults, and industry-driven skills training. These programs target critical sectors such as advanced manufacturing, education, information technology, construction, and healthcare. According to Governor Braun, Indiana has already established a nationally recognized apprenticeship system, and these new investments will further enhance work-based learning models, preparing a larger segment of the population for in-demand jobs. Indiana Secretary of Commerce Chuck Goodrich emphasized that by focusing on specific sectors like advanced manufacturing, the state is maximizin...

USDA Invests Over $325 Million in 42 Conservation Partnerships Nationwide

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced an investment exceeding $325 million into 42 projects across the nation through its Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP). This funding aims to support farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners in enhancing their operations while conserving natural resources. Among the initiatives, the Lake Decatur Targeted Soil Health and Water Quality initiative in Illinois will receive over $6.3 million to address agricultural runoff impacting water quality. Indiana's Central Hardwoods Working Forests for Birds RCPP will receive $9.5 million to accelerate conservation efforts on private working forests. Colton Buckley, USDA’s NRCS chief, emphasized the program's commitment to producer-focused conservation solutions and leveraging public-private partnerships. Seventy-five percent of this year's RCPP funding will directly benefit American farmers or cover the costs of conservation practice implementation. The NRCS prioritizes projects addressing soil health...

For the Wizards, it’s not as early as we think.

Okay, now I’m worried. The Wizards went to Indiana and got thumped by a Tyrese Haliburton-less Pacers team. It’s Washington’s fifth straight loss — and four of the five have been by 10 points or more. If you want to stick to the “it’s early” and “they’re finding their way and they’ll improve as the […]
