Its a weed native to the southwest us and now its moved into the corn belt. What farmers should be on the lookout for, next in our agribusiness report. Welcome to the agribusiness amaranth is a pigweed native to the southwest u. S. Over the last couple decades it has moved eastward. And in the last seven years its moved into the corn belt. Now. Its in iowa. Palmer amaranth. The black x means it was brought in by conventional farming operations. The red x means the weed came from native seed mixes. At the Farm Progress show, i spoke with isu weed specialist dr. Bob hartzler. He says Palmer Amaranth infestations are all isolated incidents in around 15 border counties. But farmers should be on the lookout. Palmer amaranth looks a lot like water hemp, which is found in a lot of iowa fields. However it is much more competitive. And resistant to chemicals. The one trait thats really reliable in differentiatin g Palmer Amaranth and on these inflorescence is they have sharp bracts along the flowers so it gives the seed head a very spiky appearance. And when its mature, when you grab them like this, those bracts will actually puncture your skin. Hartzler says Palmer Amaranth has been found as a contaminate in conservation planting seed mixes. And suggests farmers should be scouting those fields. He says because its still in the early stages. The density is low enough that the weed can be eradicated with effort. In a word of warning. He says,. The south did not manage to stop the production. In cotton they have far fewer herbicides available than we have in corn or soybeans and the farmers were completely reliant on glyphosate in round up ready cotton. And when they developed the glyphosate resistance Palmer Amaranth, they didnt respond quickly enough and they tried to rely on the glyphosate when it no longer controlled.

Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures.

In the case of a severe disaster, like those many experienced in 2008, a federal disaster is declared. When this occurs, the loss is flooding was certainly damaging to many, widespread damage was avoided so a federal disaster was not declared as a result of the local recent flooding.
