With tight margins forcing soybean growers to scrutinize every dollar, routine input decisions are coming under closer review.

University of Missouri Extension data highlights that calendar-based fungicide and insecticide applications rarely guarantee a return on investment.

In agriculture, pressure comes with the territory. Long hours. Tough decisions. Weather. Markets. Responsibility.

Too many people carry that weight silently because they think asking for help is weakness. Checking in on yourself and the people around you might be one of the strongest things you can do. No More Empty Tractor Seats.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988. Immediate danger: call 911.
