Making on farm progress

Website Editor • September 6, 2016

The Farm Progress Show took place in Boone, IA last week.  I was not able to attend this year but looking at numerous pictures posted on social media sites and various news articles I began to think about what Farm Progress actually means.  In some cases progress means bigger equipment, faster grain handling systems, and smarter data management systems.  At NACHURS, progress means efficiency with new and innovative products. When was the last time a fertilizer company introduced four new products in one year?  NACHURS fertilizer did this last growing season.  These new products improve efficiency across the farm as well as boost yields.  Improvements in efficiency from the way fertilizer is applied to the soil and plants, to the way plants actually utilize applied nutrients.  If you as a farmer are spreading dry fertilizer, you need to know about YaraVita Procote micronutrients. If you are using fertigation, you need to know about Aqua-Tech fertilizer products.  If you are using starter fertilizer, strip tilling, sidedressing or foliar feeding you need to know about NACHURS Bio-K products.  If you are using biologicals and progressing toward soil health then you need to know about NACHURS Rhyzo-Link products. I think I’ve covered most all of you reading this.  If you are farming today, you need to know about new, more efficient ways of feeding your crops to maximize yield while maximizing efficiency on the farm.  Your NACHURS Agronomy team would be happy to talk with you to help you understand true progress on the farm.

Post-Harvest Reflections

December 12, 2024
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.
