Wrapping up 2024

Emergence

Onto 2025.

As we finish out the year, most of you have completed a successful harvest, spending many hours in the combine or grain cart. During that time, you likely reflected on a few different things. The first thing being how your crop progressed from seed to harvest. You may have considered factors such as stands, emergence, early season weed control, insect impact, nutrient deficiencies, and nitrogen loss. During harvest, you might have noticed issues like rootworm damage, stalk quality, weeds, and disease pressure. The big question is whether these factors affected your yield and how to improve your crop management next year. There may be many answers to that question but one that we can offer is to contact your Premier Cooperative Agronomist. With training, field experience and technology our team has the knowledge and resources to help achieve your goals next year.

Similar to the last two years, we will be having “Year End Prepay Days” where we offer one-on-one appointments. These appointments ended up being very efficient and timely for all, giving us time to prepare in advance for the appointment and locking in a time for yourself to help in your day-to-day schedule as well.

Please call today and set up a time to meet and review your 2025 crop input needs and discuss your prepay options. The Premier agronomy staff will work to accommodate a time that best suits your request.
Thank you for your continued patronage in 2024 and we look forward to a mutually profitable 2025. All of us at Premier Cooperative wish you and yours the Merriest Christmas and the Happiest New Year!

By the time you are reading this, south central Wisconsin will be just over 45 days since vegetative growth stage (VT), otherwise known as tassel. Although many factors are taken into place, 42 to 47 days post tassel is a signal that the plant is ready to be harvested for corn silage. With how busy and chaotic this season may be, it is important to remember the basics to maximize your feed quality for the upcoming year.

Current headlines surrounding the fertilizer markets tend to focus on high prices and affordability issues, especially with falling commodity prices. Ratios comparing the bushels of corn needed to buy a ton of fertilizer have, in some cases, reached record levels. Multiple factors including supply, tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and other global events are influencing markets today. Together, these factors have led to volatility in the market and current high costs.

I hope everyone had the chance to enjoy Labor Day weekend with family and friends. As summer begins to wind down, and with the many fairs throughout the area coming to a close, I’d like to congratulate all the kids who participated this year. If you haven’t done so already, there’s still time to check out our website for details on how our members’ kids can earn cash for showing livestock at the fair. In addition to awarding thousands of dollars to participants each year, Premier is also proud to sponsor many of the trophies presented at some of the local fairs. In some cases, we also provide products and financial support to local 4H groups traveling to the state fair. Good luck to all of you as you wrap up another show season.
