AGRONOMY UPDATES

 

Looking at the wheat fields in the area this week, we see that it is rapidly approaching flag leaf emergence which is optimal timing for fungicide.  Fungicide application has a huge potential for return on your investment with high commodity prices.  We will be using Twinline this year on all wheat acres.  Twinline, aerial applied will run around $24.50 per acre.

 

We would encourage you to look at your alfalfa fields as there has been signs of weevil in many fields across the area.  Alfalfa weevil can damage or eliminate a field pretty quickly if not taken care of in a timely manner.  We have had the plane flying these fields this past week due to the wet ground.  Warrior II, aerial applied will run around $16 per acre.

 

Please feel free to contact the Crop Production Department at 785-242-1032 or your nearest branch to schedule your applications.

 

Thank you!
