Evaluating late-season weed control and escapes is extremely important as harvest approaches. It gives you a head start on future management decisions and creates opportunities for fall applications. According to Helena Agronomists, post-harvest burndown can be the best time to get a weed population under control.
Improving Fertilizer Efficacy 09/21/2021

Nutrient use efficiency (NUE) is simply the pounds of nutrient applied divided by the yield of the crop. It can be calculated for any nutrient. As a ratio, NUE can help farmers better understand fertilizer consumption on their farm and maximize crop performance while optimizing up-front nutrient inputs.
Corn & Soybean Response to Drought Conditions 06/15/2021

Weather conditions play a huge part in determining crop yields. One environmental action that is often encountered by growers is drought conditions. Water is important for many metabolic and physiological processes within the crop. Corn and soybeans can often suffer from reduced available water.
Benefits of Slice Tissue Sampling 06/08/2021

Nutrient management is important for proper crop health and exceptional yields. Over the years, I have seen more and more growers desiring to increase the efficiency of their existing farm by improving yields often because adding more acres to their operation is extremely competitive.
Benefits of Extractor Tissue Sampling 06/08/2021

Over the years, I have seen more and more growers desiring to increase the efficiency of their existing farm by improving yields often because adding more acres to their operation is extremely competitive.
Don’t Let Potassium Deficiency Contribute to Soybean Yield Loss! 06/02/2021

It takes a smooth running engine (and many other important pieces of equipment) to provide maximum vehicle fuel efficiency – this conversion of fuel to power becomes “maximized” in terms of better mileage. A well-tuned vehicle can better navigate the various road conditions (steep inclines, starting/stopping, etc.).
