Deliver Consistent, Season-Long Benefits

To get crops off to a strong start, you need to provide adequate nutrition from day one. WinField United research demonstrates that using a starter fertilizer is the best way to do that. 

Faster, more uniform emergence and better root development are common with in-furrow starter fertilizer use. Seeds have immediate access to essential macro and micronutrients, which is key to helping maximize yield potential and the benefits of bigger, more extensive root growth can carry through the season to improve stalk strength potential and reduce lodging.

Spring has officially sprung. Those April showers didn’t just bring May flowers. It brought in calls to the energy division that flooding on some of our customer’s property tipped over their propane tanks. The first thing propane tanks do when the water gets high enough for them to float is roll over. This rollover can allow liquid to reach the vapor valve. The last thing you want coming through a propane line and traveling to your house is propane liquid. It can cause a pressure surge, which over-pressurizes the piping, regulators and appliance valves. This can cause leaks and a potentially very dangerous situation.
