<p>Kuhn's new Optidisc Elite&nbsp;cutterbar&nbsp;design has an even lower profile, while retaining the performance&nbsp;of the original Optidisc&nbsp;cutterbar.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Optidisc Elite‘s low profile&nbsp;cutterbar&nbsp;creates a smooth, clean cut with minimal ash incorporation due to a very flat&nbsp;cutterbar&nbsp;angle even at low cutting heights. Additionally, differential disc spacing utilizes narrower spacing at the diverging discs for extra knife overlap to create a clean cut even when the grass is short or light. Wider spacing of the converging discs provides more space for the crop to pass from the cutting area; improving the cut quality. Free-rotating Fast-Fit knives also help cutting quality and provide longer knife life.</p>

<p>KUHN’s patented&nbsp;Protectadrive&nbsp;disc bearing stations are designed to shear outside the gear case upon striking a major obstacle, protecting the gears inside the cutterbar. The&nbsp;equal sized gears in the&nbsp;cutterbar&nbsp;allow power transfer with even torque loads across the full cutting width. Maintenance&nbsp;is&nbsp;minimized&nbsp;with a lubed-for-life design requiring no routine oil changes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The&nbsp;Optidisc&nbsp;Elite&nbsp;cutterbar&nbsp;is now available on select KUHN GMD mowers and FC mower conditioners.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kuhn-usa.com/news/new-kuhn-optidisc-elite-cutterbar"><strong... more, go to Kuhn USA</strong></a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.deere.com/" target="_blank">John Deere</a>&nbsp;has unveiled three new&nbsp;<a href="https://www.deere.com/en/attachments-accessories-and-implements/construc... target="_blank">backhoe attachments</a>&nbsp;to complement its full&nbsp;lineup&nbsp;of&nbsp;attachments.&nbsp;The BH9B, BH10B and BH11B were designed for&nbsp;operators&nbsp;handling&nbsp;light&nbsp;work.&nbsp;Similar to other&nbsp;John Deere&nbsp;attachments, these backhoes are ideal for use on John Deere G-Series&nbsp;<a href="https://www.deere.com/en/loaders/skid-steers/" target="_blank">skid steers</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.deere.com/en/loaders/compact-track-loaders/" target="_blank">compact track loaders</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Purina Animal Nutrition introduces a new era of Purina&nbsp;beef calf starter feeds,&nbsp;now with the revolutionary RX3&nbsp;Immune Support Technology that addresses weaning-time stressors and respiratory challenges.&nbsp;</p>

<p>RX3&nbsp;Immune Support Technology is a precise combination of prebiotics, probiotics and plant extracts. The technology works by preparing calves’ natural defenses for improved response to stress and respiratory challenges.</p>

<p>Research demonstrated calves fed Purina&nbsp;starters with RX3&nbsp;Immune Support Technology gained, on average, 6 pounds more than the control group within a 30-day period.&nbsp;The same research showed calves were more uniform because fewer calves were poor performers. Plus, calves achieved a more consistent average daily gain compared to control calves.</p>

<p>RX3&nbsp;Immune Support Technology is exclusively available in Purina&nbsp;starter feeds, including&nbsp;<a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/suLRC1wY98hM3J9NRf3tpdV?domain=u706114... target="_blank">Purina®&nbsp;Precon®&nbsp;Complete</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/KVU7C2kg95ip159zjsOs0QC?domain=u706114... target="_blank">Purina®&nbsp;Accuration®&nbsp;Starte</a>r&nbsp;feeds and&nbsp;<a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/iq9RC31j95hpqDEzBs6c9nb?domain=u706114... target="_blank">Purina®&nbsp;Stress Care®&nbsp;Supplement</a>&nbsp;feeds.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ralco&nbsp;announced that university research around the essential oil-based product,&nbsp;<a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/Cv9dCDkY05i5N16zghlJfpY?domain=u706114... target="_blank">Stand Strong for Ruminants</a>, shows positive effects on feed conversion, rumen function and reduced ammonia and waste gas emissions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The research team used top-of-the-line polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to show that essential oils blended in animal feed improved the efficiency of tissue RNA protein production.</p>

<p>When using Stand Strong for Ruminants, the research&nbsp;shows&nbsp;strong evidence that protein-dependent tissue like muscle, skin, hair, meat or immune protein have a measurable impact on protein syntheses outcomes.&nbsp;The data suggested that the product improved economic traits by functioning deep inside the body cells. Stand Strong for Ruminants doesn’t change genetics but can make genetics perform better.</p>

<p>This study continues to show that improved rumen fermentations through the use of essential oils mitigates ruminal methane and ammonia production in a natural way thereby reducing the environmental impact of ruminant production. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Ralco&nbsp;is a third-generation family-owned multinational company with distribution in more than 20 countries.<a href="https://ralcoagriculture.com/"><strong> Find out more about the Stand Strong product here.&nbsp;</strong></a></p>

<p>An invader has been moving across the western United States&nbsp;reducing ecosystem diversity and fostering more frequent wildfires.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Cheatgrass,&nbsp;medusahead,&nbsp;ventenata, Japanese&nbsp;brome&nbsp;and&nbsp;red brome&nbsp;are the most aggressive species of invasive annual grasses. As they&nbsp;choke out desirable perennial grasses, forbs and shrubs that once covered the&nbsp;western states,&nbsp;they are leaving behind a dense thatch layer that increases wildfire frequency.&nbsp;Early detection is critical to bringing&nbsp;back native grasses.</p>

<p>Esplanade&nbsp;200 SC herbicide from Bayer is&nbsp;designed to control these grasses. It’s a pre-emergent rangeland restoration tool that is showing consistent control over multiple years with just one application.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Each year, invasive annual grasses add seeds to the soil seed bank.&nbsp;If they can be prevented from germinating&nbsp;with a tool like Esplanade,&nbsp;the&nbsp;soil seed bank&nbsp;will be&nbsp;depleted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mycotoxins can have a devastating effect on livestock production. The solution to protecting animals from the threat of&nbsp;mycotoxins&nbsp;could&nbsp;be&nbsp;all-natural&nbsp;FloBond from Brookside Agra.&nbsp;</p>

<p>FloBond&nbsp;is a 100% organic-certified binder and anti-caking agent that is proven in multiple laboratory studies and field trials to bind with the mycotoxin to form a larger particle that is unable to pass through an animal's gut wall. Instead, the larger particle is safely secreted from the animal's body through its feces.&nbsp;FloBond&nbsp;does not affect the feed's vitamins, minerals, nutrients or flavors.</p>

<p>Mycotoxins, toxic substances produced by mold and fungi, occur in most feed grains. When consumed by livestock,&nbsp;mycotoxins can cause problems that affect animal performance and profitability.&nbsp;</p>

<p>FloBond&nbsp;comes in easy-to-use powdered and granulated formulas that work with standard mixing equipment to blend with regular feed.&nbsp;FloBond&nbsp;is approved by the United States Department of Agriculture and contains no dioxins, chemicals or additives and is allowed in European Economic Community countries.&nbsp;FloBond&nbsp;is available in 50-lb bags and 2,000-lb bulk bags.&nbsp;FloBond&nbsp;is made in the U.S.A.</p>
