Harvest 2018

Joe Osterhaus, Sales Agronomist • Oct 17, 2018

This year’s fall harvest weather sure feels a lot like this year’s Nebraska Cornhusker football team. Every day starts with great promise and then Mother Nature throws a flag. Most have been pleased with the yields they are seeing so far but the rains are sure making it a challenge. My area of Nebraska (70 miles west of Lincoln) has had nearly 10” of rain the last month. It seems as if half of the US is underwater this fall and every time the wind starts to blow anxiety levels rise knowing the possibility of crops falling down due to stalk rot and disease. We know that there isn’t a darn thing we can do about it at this point. Another turnover or penalty that the coach can’t do anything about. Things may have to hit rock bottom first as I woke up to snow this morning after another Husker loss. The Cornhuskers are going to improve and rest assured that the weather will improve, the ground will dry and at the end of the game the crops will be in the bin.

We select crops, hybrids, and cultivars to perform the best on each farm the same way coaches recruit players to fill positions that give them the best opportunity to win. A plan is developed literally from the ground up. Starting at the soil fertility and crop needs to in season fertilizer applications to maximize return. Farmers are looking to sustain that drive all the way to harvest. Do football coaches rely on old slow players to fill their rosters or are they recruiting the best they can find? Progressive growers are finding the best and most innovative fertility tools on the market to ensure that the crops being grown are the healthiest and best they can be. Progressive growers are spoon feeding their crops to make them better just like good coaches keep coaching after mistakes they keep looking for that edge and trying to get better results and eventually the WIN.

Studying, planning, and implementing the plan is the key to winning. NACHURS liquid starters, micro-nutrients, foliar nutrition and fertigation products are your line of 5 star recruits that give you the winning edge.

Wayne Becker, District Sales Manager & Agronomy Specialist Blending two NACHURS products (Triple Option® and Balance®) at a 1:1 ratio has proven to jump start soybeans and increase profitability. Many farmers would like to use in-furrow starter fertilizer with their beans but are uncertain of the benefits. When beans are first planted early growth is very important. • It is a race against time between soybeans and weeds, fighting for water, sunlight and nutrients. • The quicker a canopy is established, the less weeds are able to steal resources, which could affect yield potential. Traditional In-furrow fertilization of beans is usually not as easy to visually observe as when it is applied to corn or wheat. However, that does not mean that they are not extremely important. This treatment will provide early season fertility that will help the young crop remain strong and vibrant, enabling them to better deal with stresses like insects, drought or water logging. NACHURS liquid fertilizer has been providing the best in-furrow fertilizer treatments for 75+ years. With NACHURS in-furrow, producers have always been able to safely provide the traditional benefits without decreasing germination because of the fertilizer’s low-salt content and superior availability. New focus on plant and soil health has raised the bar even higher. The NACHURS Bio-K® line of fertilizers is the most available source of K on the market, yet it also promotes both soil and plant health. Because the Bio-K fertilizer is a carbon molecule combined with potassium, applying it in-furrow provides beneficial soil microbes with a food source. This enables microbes to increase nutrient availability – for all types of crops. Legumes use Rhizobia to “fix” their own nitrogen. NACHURS has developed a product specially designed to stimulate early development of these important soil microbes. It is called Balance®. We combine the rhizobia stimulating qualities of Balance with Triple Option which maximizes quantity of other nutrients. The result is improved potential for early season growth and greater profitability of soybeans
