AGRONOMY WEEKLY NEWS

Wheat

Well we are off to the races again! During the teaser of spring weather mid-month, we saw both fertilizer application (by our airflow, and by spreader) amp up, as well as 28% spray application on the wheat. We are slowly starting to once again pick away at our lists as fields become fit (and until the next rain event). Make sure to call early to be added to our schedule! If you don’t have any fertilizer on your wheat yet, now is the time to be thinking about it.


Once the weather starts to cooperate and dry up, we recommend getting your wheat herbicide and fungicide PGR (growth regulators) on! These products can only be applied when it is going to be at least 5 degrees for the 24 hours before and after spraying.

Soybeans & Corn

Most seed is now in for the 2023 year and we are getting it ready for customers. Our team has already started to call on some producers to arrange seed pickups/delivery. Similarly, chemical is in as well, and orders have already started to move out of our warehouse. Feel free to give us a call if we have not yet been in contact with you, and you are hoping to get a delivery/pickup set up!


If you have not yet met with your agronomist to go over crop plans, there is still time! If you are interested, please feel free to call your agronomist to set up a meeting before the spring rush! Our company's agronomy expertise is no additional cost to you! If you have signed up for our myFS Solution CentreTM (at no charge) you can review your plans online!

Our agronomists have been busy scouting fields to ensure that they are fit for spray/fertilizer application. Shortly, you will also see some of our Wanstead signs pop up as our team gets signs on the fantastic Pride and NK wheat crops!


All in all, we are so excited for another growing season working with YOU! Please feel free to reach out to either of our branches if you have any questions, or if there is anything we can do for you!
