#Plant2026 for Success
You’ve weighed the agronomics and the economics — and now the planter is rolling. The decisions don’t stop, though. The weather changes plans, equipment breaks and pests pop up. Every step plays a role in the success of your planting season as well as the growing and harvest seasons to come.
There are so many ways you can apply nitrogen—manure, broadcasting, banding, etc.—which one provides the most bang for your buck?
In 2019, U.S. farmers planted a 91.7 million acres. Expect that number to grow by nearly 3 million acres this year, according to Allendale.
As farmers across the Midwest prepare for planting it’s important to remember that seed is the baseline for yield. The right—or wrong choice—sets the tone for the season.
The acreage mix matters to the market, but not to a farmer’s marketing plan. Analysts explain why on U.S. Farm Report.
The root zone moisture map shows a soggier scenario that what farmers saw heading into spring 2019. Mike Hoffman isn’t confident that wet weather pattern continues.
For some farmers, excess moisture led to depleted nutrients, which might mean you need to take a closer look at your nutrient mix in 2020.
Certain planting decisions in 2019 were extremely costly. From planting date to planting depth, one agronomist says certain planting decisions can cost producers more than $200 per acre.
The winter-grain planting period is drawing to a close across the Northern Hemisphere, and young crops across some of the world’s top exporters face a mixed bag of conditions.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) reminds farmers to take critical steps to ensure you’re not buying contaminated seed to slow the spread of this devastating weed.
No yield or number on a check is worth someone getting hurt on your farm. Take care to mind safety guidelines for both farm practices and products.
