Crop Scouting
As planters continue rolling, crops are emerging from the soil. There are many issues that can occur to a seedling and there are many things that can happen to the crop once it is up. From weeds, to insects, to disease...etc, a firm scouting program is highly advised. Between our Agronomists as well as the Interns, we will have people scouting the country side. Contact your agronomist and talk with him or her about getting on the schedule for scouting. In a very short amount of time an issue can come up and damage your crop in no more than a couple days. The work of putting the seed in the ground is just the beginning. Our scouting will also offer tissue sampling and identify what the plant really needs to achieve top yield. Ask your agronomist about our Inspex program, and work together to put more bushels in the bin.
