Fall is Weed Control Season
Many areas have experienced back-to-back above-average spring rains. Although great for growing grass, it’s not so good for timely pasture spraying or any spraying at all in some cases. Fortunately, fall is an ideal time to catch up.

Winter Grazing Seed
Pick up your winter grazing seed at Farmer's Cooperative. Winter annual cool-season grasses include annual Marshall ryegrass, small grains such as wheat, cereal rye, oats, and more. Talk to our experts about your pasture options.

The Basics of Lime
Looking to lime your fields, pastures, or gardens? Farmer’s Cooperative and our many locations have got you covered! Here’s what you need to know:
It all starts with determining how much lime to apply, which depends on the soil acidity and the specific crop or forage you’re growing. Remember the pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral pH. Anything below 7 is acidic, and anything above 7 is basic. Most plants thrive in the slightly acidic range, around 6.5 to 7.
