Note Regarding The News

With corn and soybean harvest nearly in the rearview, we are going to slow our Agronomy Weekly News publishing; sending out updates once or twice a month, rather than weekly.

Soybeans, Corn & Wheat

Now is the time to start thinking about next year's crop! December 6th is the deadline for early pay and early order. Touch base with your agronomist early to lock in your product, or set up a time to discuss a plan! Our agronomists have been looking at plot data and running numbers (and can factor in your soil sampling information!), and are a great asset to use when deciding on which seed, fertilizer and chemical is best for your farm.

Harvest is in the end stages for corn and soybeans, and wheat is off to the races with a strong start. Unless we get a bad winter or spring, the Lambton County wheat crop is expected to look fantastic next year. For comparison, at this time last year, the wheat was looking very brown and some even looked dead. Corn and soybean yields were wildly varied this year from some worst-ever yields to some best-ever depending on rain quantities.

With respect to 2023, please see below for our confirmed IP premium schedule from LAC (the grower is responsible for freight).
