Maintenance of wheat fields is in full swing. Pre-rains, we saw significant soil sampling happening, and once we dry up, it will once again be a good time to sample. Soil sampling helps you to better plan for P+K needs on your fields. This is a great time of year to start creating your fertilizer plan for the fall and for the upcoming year!
We are also dealing with volunteer wheat in wheat stubble fields. Talk to your agronomist about plans to deal with the volunteer wheat before it gets too far ahead. Clover catch maintenance has also been a priority lately. Determining whether to cut, spray and work clover fields is something you can bounce of our one of our sales experts to see what would work best for your operation.
Also, if you are thinking about still putting in a cover crop, make sure to call your agronomist to book product or talk planning! Planting your cover crop this time of year helps to ensure that the crop does not get too much of a top, but still establishes a good root system. If you don't put something green into your field, Mother Nature will!
