AGRONOMY WEEKLY NEWS
This new weekly e-newsletter will be delivered to your inbox midweek. It will focus on local agronomy news in and around our Wanstead branch locations. Information you'll receive comes from our Wanstead crop sales advisors.

Thanks for signing up!

Trust the company you own.
Harvest
Snow has put the harvest on hold. Most of the beans are off, but there are still some that have not been harvested. Most corn is off, but again, it is being taken off when conditions permit. We have tested biologicals (Envita) on all three crops and are coming up with some great data. We have data available, please ask your Agronomist for details.
Seed
The first early order and early pay deadline is next Wednesday. Book your seed now to take advantage of these savings!! Plot data is available at each branch or through your Agronomist to help you with your selection of seed.
Plans
In the next couple of months, book time with your crop sales specialist to go over your crop plans for next year. Reduce the stress of the spring season by having a plan in place for your seed, fertilizer and chemical needs. We can look at your farm from a macro level and go all the way down to analyzing each field. We will help you develop your plans now.
Yield Maps
We can put your yield maps into our system so we can sit down and analyze your harvest by field. Analyzing the maps can help us answer questions like: where are the variations in the filed? Is it because of water, nutrients compaction...?
The yield differential in a field can be more than double when comparing your more productive ground to your least productive areas. Are you ensuring you are replenishing the nutrients that are being taken out? We can point out where you need to place your fertilizer to get the best bang for your $. The 4R's play a key role in this! Right Source, Right Rate, Right Place, Right Time.
What are our agronomists up to?
Our agronomists are busy with seed sales. Crop plans are being discussed and developed for producers. If you have signed up for our myFS Solution CentreTM (at no charge) you can review your plans online. Give your agronomist a call and they will be happy to assist you with your needs.
