Starting this past Monday, April 1st, our offices have returned to our regular hours 8-5pm!

Wanstead's official 100th Birthday is on Sunday, so our offices will be having cake and coffee at both branches on Monday for any of our customers who stop by! We will be having an official anniversary celebration (with cake, food, music, and more) on August 17th at the Wanstead location, and we hope to see you all there!

Wheat

Wheat looks to be in good shape. There are not too many flooded out spots in fields. When we are able to get on the field, consider split N applications, especially for wheat that was planted late. By doing a double-shot of nitrogen, you can help get those tillers going. Make sure, whichever way you decide to apply your N (Single App. or Double), make sure that the 1st application contains Sulphur!

We are expecting a wet week ahead. That being said, extended forecasts are showing that we could see Nitrogen applications starting in next week or 2 with some warm sunny days predicted. Fingers crossed.

Preparation

Our staff has been busy getting the chemical warehouse stocked up for the spring. Please call with any inquiries on pricing or availability!

Agronomy Tip of the Week

We know time is tight for our farmers during the farming season, so this year, we are kicking off a social media campaign to summarize a weekly takeaway or highlight that our agronomists really want to push each week. "Agronomy Tip of the Week". 

Today's tip, from our Agronomist Mike is "If in doubt of your wheat crop, consider counting your stand. Measure off 1 foot in a row. Count your plants, Do this in 10 different spots in a field. Calculate the average number of plants per foot.

7 plants/ft or less – terminate it

8 to 10 plants/ft – carefully weigh alternatives

11 plants/ft or more is worth keeping"
