| High Prices Cause Surge In Wheat Popularity For Louisiana Farmers Louisiana farmers will plant a lot more wheat this year than last. At least that’s what LSU AgCenter experts predict – provided the weather cooperates in October and November. The reason for the increase is the higher prices, which is in sharp contrast to the below-average prices for just about every other crop grown in the state. |

| 2008 Small Grain Performance Trials Small grain variety trials are conducted annually by scientists of the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station (LAES) to evaluate grain yield, agronomic performance, and disease reaction of varieties and advanced lines. The trials are conducted at seven LAES research stations representative of the major soil and climate regions of the state. The 2008 statewide wheat performance trials included 60 varieties and experimental lines. |

| Seed Treatments: An Alternative Pesticide Delivery System In Louisiana, southern green stink bugs and brown stink bugs (Figures 1, 2 and 3) have become common pests of corn, cotton, grain sorghum, soybean and wheat. In corn, an infestation can cause injury to the plant from seedling emergence through ear formation and grain development. Seedlings punctured by stink bugs exhibit small holes surrounded by localized dead tissue. |
