Farm show season is coming to an end

Website Editor • February 20, 2017

The farm show season is coming to a close for another year and at the close of the Commodity Classic March 4th, the 2016-17 crop season will be underway. From Dakotafest in Mitchell SD in August, to the Montana Grain Growers Conference in Great Falls MT, to the KFYR International Ag Show just last week in Bismarck ND.  There have been good shows and outstanding farm shows.  Even a few disappointments, but overall a very strong show season.  Word is out and NACHURS new product line with Bio-K, Rhyzo-Link, Aqua-Tech, and YaraVita Procote are generating a lot of interest.  I have answered a lot of questions regarding NACHURS Bio-K.  People are genuinely interested in a better form of potassium and Bio-K fits the bill for every type of fertilizer application.  Biologicals and soil health are the hot topic in the Ag world and once again NACHURS is the innovator with the Rhyzo-Link lineup. Plant growth promoting rhyzo-bacteria provide beneficial biological compounds to your entire crop and in the end higher yield.  YaraVita Procote is for use with dry fertilizer impregnation.  This is quickly becoming the micronutrient standard.  Aqua-Tech has proven to boost yields through fertigation systems in season making it possible to spoon feed crops throughout the season for greater efficiency.  It is or will soon be time to put seed in the ground.  I hear seed and chemical company agronomists region wide talk about cheap insurance, usually introducing a new seed treatment or fungicide.  Don’t believe for a minute that these products do more than a popup or starter fertilizer treatment.  We hear time and again that the key to high yields is strong even emergence and almost every year we see the positive effect of starter fertilizer placed in furrow. The best way to ensure a strong, even stand is to use a quality N-P-K starter.  Be very careful when choosing new products.  Read labels and ask questions.  Make telephone calls.  Better yet, come talk to us at the Commodity Classic.  We will have a strong presence and a team of professionals to answer your questions.  See you in San Antonio, Texas.

The effect of foliar fertilization on wheat yield.

We are at the point in the year where things are slowing down around the farm and it is time to reflect on the season to remind ourselves what we learned. Over the last couple of weeks, the District Sales Managers and I have spent some time reflecting on what worked well in the field and the challenges we faced too. Here are the top 5 things we learned from 2024 growing season: #1 Split applying Nitrogen and Sulfur is a practice that should be embraced on a yearly basis when growing corn. Do you remember how the planting season started and what happened in the first 60 days after the planters started rolling? Our field conditions started out dry with some areas of the corn belt showing up on the drought map. Then mother nature blessed us with rain that never stopped in some areas making it difficult to finish planting. Growers that had split applied their Nitrogen and Sulfur were able to avoid nutrient loss from the rain but also apply the nutrients when the crop needed it most. In the end yield was better on split applied nitrogen fields compared to fields that had all the N applied in the fall or spring before planting. #2 For the past 2 seasons in the North region, we have seen the benefits of adding NACHURS Humi-Flex FA to the in-furrow starter fertilizer. NACHURS Humi-Flex FA is our fulvic acid and it is becoming a valuable component in our starter fertilizer for many reasons. We are using it to chelate the nutrients in the starter fertilizer especially phosphorus. Humi-Flex FA also buffers the soil pH to neutral in that nutrient band keeping nutrients available in fields that have less then optimal pH for crop growth. Finally, we use Humi-Flex FA to create a healthy soil microbiome that leads to more root mass and nutrient uptake. #3 Nutrient uptake charts for corn and soybeans have been a great tool for our team to help our customers visualize the crops nutrient needs based on timing during the growing season.
