Dicamba training
On Oct. 13, 2017, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced an agreement with Monsanto, BASF and DuPont on measures to minimize the potential for off-target movement of Dicamba and further ensure effective use of three pesticides: DuPont’s FeXapan, BASF’s Engenia and Monsanto’s XtendiMax. The Missouri Department of Agriculture announced Missouri-specific restrictions for ENGENIA, XENDIMAX and FEXAPAN, including training requirements, a notice of application form, specific application times and cutoff dates for application. Find the complete details of these restrictions and information on training at http://agriculture.mo.gov/plants/pesticides/dicamba-facts.php.

Cash renting farm land
These rates were compiled using the survey responses of 226 Missourians who are involved with cash renting farm land. Every rental situation is different, so this guide should be used as a reference in addition to considering other factors in your area, including average yield, soil types, the number of acres available for rent in the area and the demand of rental land. The guide includes rates of crop and pasture land by acre, crop land by yield, pasture by stocking rate and rates for farm buildings. You can find this MU Extension publication by clicking G427, 2015 Cash Rental Rates in Missouri. This is the last update, it is only updated every 3-4 years.
Custom rates for farm services in Missouri
The rates reported in this guide are based on a statewide survey conducted by mail in the summer of 2015. Farmers, agribusiness firms, aerial applicators and land improvement contractors responded to questions on the rates they were charging or paying, excluding the cost of materials being applied.
