Giving Thanks

Website Editor • November 23, 2015

This is the time of year when we stop to give thanks for all of our blessings.  This year I am thankful to work in the Ag industry.  Every year is a different adventure which keeps life interesting.  I get to work with the people who feed the world.  I get to help farmers grow better crops.  I get to help farmers become better stewards of the environment.   I get to learn about new products offered by what seems like every company in the industry. This year I got to teach farmers about new products that NACHURS brought to market.  NACHURS brought new products that fit every aspect of fertilizer application.  YaraVita Procote are micronized Micronutrients designed to coat prilled or granular dry fertilizers for even distribution across fields.  The Rhyzo-Link product line combines NACHURS high quality fertilizer with a consortium of beneficial plant growth promoting rhyzobacteria.  This multi-strain blend of beneficial bacteria promote soil health, plant health, and in the end higher yields. The Rhyzo-Link products are designed for infurrow and foliar application.   The new Aqua-Tech products are designed for fertigation through drip line and pivot irrigation with no nutrient tie up due to hard water issues.  I’m thankful for new innovation and quality products.  I’m thankful for the quality people I work with to make farmer successful every year.-Joe Osterhaus, Northern US Sales Agronomist

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.
