Getting our ducks in a row...

Website Editor • October 4, 2017

As fall harvest begins we often get caught up in the day to day job of combining, hauling grain, and repairing break downs. We often forget about the opportunities that we have on our crop nutrition inputs for the next year‘s crop. As we know, some of our largest discounts for next year’s crop inputs can be obtained during this time.  The majority of crop nutrition inputs are purchased in the spring due to many reasons: we want to wait and see how this year‘s crop yields, tax reasons, and line of credit reasons.  We need to keep in mind that retail agriculture has very aggressive pricing strategies right now for those growers that are willing to secure in orders for the upcoming year. There are several advantages for committing to or paying for your next year’s crop nutrition inputs during this time.  Here are a few advantages for securing next year’s crop nutritional needs:  Financial advantage with aggressive fall pricing Removing the demand from the spring bottleneck (this includes taking possession of your product); this will ease spring logistics Securing the volatility of your NPK supply and demand   So if we take the time during this fall when we have our little breaks in between harvesting and we sit down to put a pencil to paper and try to get our inputs lined up for next year this will ease the stress of spring when it comes around.  As a NACHURS agronomist I promote these actions of early planning as this allows us greater time to focus on crop nutrition: what happened last year, what happened this year, and what we are going to change for the upcoming year.  Your NACHURS team has already begun to prepare for next year’s crop by offering the latest in crop nutrition technology, utilizing the most efficient sources of plant available nutrients.  I would like to showcase some of the latest additions to our product lineup:  Click here to learn about NACHURS K-fuse  Click here to learn about NACHURS CropMax

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.
