    Questions to diagnose crop nutrient deficiencies
    (University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2025) Parvej, Rasel; Nelson, Kelly; Singh, Gurbir
    "Identifying the cause of nutrient deficiencies in crops requires more than just visual observation. Nutrient deficiency symptoms can often mimic those caused by environmental stress, pests, or other injury symptoms. To properly diagnose the issue and recommend an effective solution, it's essential to ask the right questions to gather detailed, field-specific information from the client. Below is a structured set of diagnostic questions that can guide the conversation and help pinpoint nutrient-related problems." -- first page

    Permanganate oxidizable carbon (POXC) : a sensitive indicator of reactive soil carbon
    (University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2025) Parvej, Rasel; Brandt, Donna; Myers, Robert; Nelson, Kelly; Reinbott, Tim; Singh, Gurbir
    "Soil organic matter (SOM) influences nutrient cycling, water retention, and biological activity, which is a cornerstone of soil health. Total soil organic carbon (SOC) constitutes about 58% of SOM. Total SOC is an important long-term measure of soil quality, but it changes slowly and may not reflect the impact of recent changes in crop management. Permanganate oxidizable carbon (POXC}, also referred to as reactive carbon, is a widely used indicator for assessing the reactive fraction of total SOC, which is the portion of carbon most readily available for microbial metabolism and nutrient cycling (Weil et al., 2003; Cu Iman et al., 2013). Typically, POXC accounts for 1-4% of total SOC (Cul man et al., 2012; Hurisso et al., 2016)." -- first page

    Missouri fence and boundary law reference guide
    (University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2025) Kientzy, Drew; Tucker, Wesley
    Maintaining and replacing fences is an essential part of land and livestock ownership. In most situations, sound relationships with neighbors and a desire to be civil and cooperative make division fences a nonissue. However, disputes can arise when there are differences of opinion on repairing or replacing division fences. Clear cut rules for handling these situations are needed to resolve conflict and settle disputes. Missouri Revised Statutes (RSMo) Chapter 272 contains legal guidance for most situations regarding division fences. RSMo refers to the fence separating two adjoining properties as a division fence. Although many farmers and landowners may consider this fence a boundary fence and refer to a division fence as one separating fields, pastures or paddocks owned by the same person, this guide will use the definition of a division fence as established by RSMo 272." -- first page

    Fingerling potato (high tunnel) planning budget
    (University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2025) Cabrera-Garcia, Juan; Reinbott, Tim; Milhollin, Ryan
    "Using this budget, farmers can estimate the costs and returns for raising fingerling potatoes in a high tunnel. Table 1 presents estimates for Missouri based on price forecasts in October 2025. The budget assumes potatoes are grown in a 2,000-square-foot high tunnel with trickle irrigation and sold into retail markets. Capital investments and a sensitivity analysis are summarized in Tables 2 and 3. Use the "Your estimate" column to plan your high tunnel fingerling potato operation's costs and returns" -- first page
