Crop Production Update

Welcome to Panhandle Coops Crop Production update blog. My name is Cody Loyd, I am the Crop Production Division Manager for Panhandle Coop. From time to time I will be updating this blog as things in Crop Production come up. Please check regularly as to any changes.

I would like to start off by thanking everyone for their business and support of Panhandle Coop. We have a great team of individuals working for the company with the goal of helping all our growers succeed raising profitable crops yearly.

Currently we are supporting a fungicide program that is offered to the growers. There are great discounts to book your fungicide in advance. Syngenta, BASF, and Bayer all have proven yield boosters that we are supporting.

With the current weather that we have been receiving, the season is going to be compressed and timing of fertilizer being placed for the crop is going to be a challenge. Here at Panhandle Coop we have foliar products that can take away some pressure early on and we can custom tailor a program that fits your operation. Currently we have a financing program offered for Coron which is our slow release Nitrogen. We are also promoting pre-emerge herbicides to help alleviate some time that you may be lacking getting all your work done. Contact your local Agronomist and visit with them about the opportunities that are available at this time.

We also took on a project this last year of offering Precision Ag options to growers. We purchased a Veris machine which will read a growers field and from there we can build a prescription to variable rate your fertilizer as well as your seeding population. All of our locations are set up to run this system.

Thank you for taking the time to check out our website and continue checking back for updates. We all here at Panhandle Coop wish the best for a successful season to all the growers in the Western Nebraska and Eastern Wyoming region.
