“We are working to democratize geospatial insights for farming everywhere,” says CEO Pieter Fossel.
Planting is nearing the finish line across Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Tennessee. Much of the soybean crop saw an early start to planting, One agronomic expert thinks the stage could be set for bigger soybean yields.
The 2023 Wheat Quality Council’s Wheat Tour across Kansas found low yields and higher abandonment than what USDA currently has penciled in with one economist on tour warning abandonment could climb even higher.
Dry conditions spurred by La Nina weighed on areas of the Corn Belt in 2022. As La Nina fades, and El Nino starts to make a return, meteorologists say the weather shift could also signal better crop production in 2023.
Missy Bauer, Farm Journal field agronomist, has found adding a dry ammonium sulfate at V3 or V4 growth stages can make the most significant impact on yields in soils with less organic matter.
Some farmers saw A 40-bu-per-acre yield surge across fields in 2022, thanks to nutrient efficiencies. They lost less N and had better mineralization. Now, they ask, how can they get a repeat performance this year?
When it comes to winning the furrow, it all starts with the planter. Missy Bauer, Farm Journal field agronomist, says some of the common planting mistakes can be fixed before the planter hits the field.
The Nutrient Navigator series focuses on efficient, environmentally sound management of nutrients. The goal is to provide practical knowledge that helps drive yields and profits higher.
Agriculture’s simple kind of man, Ken Ferrie is all fact and no flash, with a stellar reputation for honesty. “A farmer wants one thing from me, the truth.”
Some hybrids require nitrogen early, some require it late.
