Weather

The past few days old man Winter has been around. The temperatures dropped into the sub zero range in many areas. The 10 day outlook appears to be bringing much more mild temperatures to the area. Now is a good time to be top dressing your wheat crop out there. Many stands in the area looked to be in bad shape and the wheat that is out there needs to be taken care of. While the price continues to rise, we need to get the most yield out of the stand that is out there. This is a great time of year to be putting down a shot of Nitrogen as well as some sulfur. Hydra Hume will help the nutrients that we place out there and assist in giving the crop a kick once the weather begins to warm.

We are only 2 months from what we call season.....when everything is going all at once. Utilize this time to get what you can done to lessen your work load when all the frost is out of the ground. Soil Sampling needs to be done to know exactly what you will be working with this next growing season.

Talk with your Agronomist at Panhandle Coop and make a plan to kick start 2011.
