That is an accurate image based on what I’ve seen!

Seeing BSR and SDS locally - great reminder to split stems

FYI that NH3 values are looking attractive vs both urea and UAN values. Also looking "okayish" vs corn. Don't get me wrong. There is nothing cheap about it. Just the comparisons that are decent.

This will be an important step this year

Have you seen spots like this on your corn in IA? Curvularia leaf spot is new to Iowa and was observed in two fields in Boone County crops.extension.iastate.edu/post/curvulari…

Seeing this in several fields - thanks to Alison for the update!

A 100 bushel soybean crop removes ~320 pounds of N! That N is derived from biological nitrogen fixation and the soil. This is what non-nodulating soybean looks like on sand.

We appreciate all the hard work farmers and their families put in year-round. Happy Labor Day, everyone!

U.S. July trade data is out. UAN imports were 246K...that's good. UAN exports were 286K...that's bad, very bad. I continue to think UAN is significantly worse off this year than last...and we were a net exporter to start the fertilizer year. Great...

It’s showing up in the fields - thank you!

Price changes since the same time of year 2023: Corn - 16% lower Urea - 5% higher UAN - 25% higher NH3 - 3% higher DAP - 44% higher MAP - 17% higher Potash - 3% higher One of these things is not like the other one.

Grandson received an invitation to long snapper camp in Florida - he’s excited!

Champions are made in the off season!

Great article. Love the fertilizer attention from D.C. but two points: 1. POTASH HAS BEEN WELL PRICED. IT IS THE BEST PRICED MAJOR FERTILIZER. 2. N.A. phosphate values are higher than the world BECAUSE OF D.C. DUTIES/TARIFFS. We are currently in line with world values.

From supporting farmers with innovative traits to being there for local communities, we built results together with the farmers we serve. See the full story of how we went beyond the bag.

Updated fertilizer/corn ratio charts. Not good: Urea - tied for 3rd worst this time of year UAN - 2nd worst this time of year DAP - worst for this time of year Potash - about as middle as you get Farmers are bleeding and nitrogen/phosphate keep making it worse.

For the folks thinking of skipping spring phosphate applications because it will be cheaper in the fall, 2 biggest reasons why it may not: 1. China doesn't look to export until August this year 2. Cost of production is skyrocketing w/ NH3 & sulfur prices skyrocketing.

¿Dónde está el dulce cachorro? ¡Allí están! Graneros, Chile making thousands of selections a day and petting all the good boys and girls! #corn #plantbreeding

Way to go Mr Wilkens!!!
