The soybeans are looking good. You can really see the plants soaking in all of the rains that we have gotten over the past few weeks!

Consistent rainfall will be essential to yields going forward. August is the main yield determining month for soybeans, so hopefully we see continued showers as we go forward into the next few weeks.

With wheat harvest wrapped up, now is the time to do all of those extras! - Soil Sampling, Cover Cropping, Tiling, etc.... there is always something to do on the farm!

Grid soil sampling in the wheat stubble is in full effect. This is the perfect time to start your rotation of consistent and effective soil sampling, and helps to plan for P+K needs on your fields. If you have gotten sampling done, and are curious about the results, please note that it usually takes us approximately 10 days to see results back from our 3rd party lab.

Reach out to your Wanstead agronomist about your options for cover crops and fertilizer application.

Additionally, now is the time of year to start thinking about preparing for fall wheat planting (Are you going to need seed?). With 2023 SRWT prices just shy of $10, this crop is a profitable option to consider.

Our lift-kit sprayers have been busy with corn fungicide application. We expect the majority of the corn fields to be sprayed this week!

Keep in touch with your agronomist about fungicide timing and getting on our custom application list.

Thank you to all of the golfers that joined us at our annual tournament last Friday. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to see you all in person, play some fun golf, and eat some delicious food! Looking forward to 2023!

During the month of August, many of our staff members are taking much deserved vacations! If you cannot get ahold of someone, please call the office, and we can make sure that you get the help you need!
