It's that time of the year.

Are you looking for a reliable way to improve yield potential in your alfalfa, corn and soybeans? The Premier Cooperative Agronomy Team is available to evaluate how your fertility, seed selection, insect and herbicide plans will perform in the current weather conditions. Now is the time to take advantage of a valuable tool you have at your fingertips to help you maximize your yield potential for 2022. This would be having discussions with your trusted Agronomy Advisor about your weed-control strategy based on our current weather conditions. As you know, controlling weeds early is extremely important to protect your bottom line.  Large weeds result in limited options and higher costs for you. Contact your Premier Cooperative Agronomist for an early start on successful weed control to help you maximize your 2022 crop yields.    

Please remember with the “rush” upon us, to keep SAFETY on the top of your to do list.  With this spring’s workload getting squeezed into a collapsed time frame we all will be driven to do more in the few hours that mother nature gives us. Getting rest, planning, communicating, listening, taking breaks and keeping stress at bay are a few critical factors that can lead to a safe and successful planting season.  

Also on the to do list is to work closely with your Premier Agronomy location and communicate your product needs and delivery needs in a timely manner.  Planning ahead will sure be a big help as we coordinate our daily schedules to meet the needs of our valued customers.  As we also head into the spraying season, please take the time to get your field maps into your agronomy location. Having the maps at locations is a requirement to improve our application services as well as maximizing our efficiency. Thank you very much in advance for the cooperation.

As we head into fall and harvest begins, September is a great time to review the basics of soil sampling. When it comes to soil sampling, the phrase “you cannot manage what you do not measure” is all too accurate.

As our summer grazing season dwindles down, now is a favorable time to get a head start on the 2025 season. Thistles and other biennial and perennial weeds are soon to begin to prepare for winter by sending nutrients and energy back down to the roots. The translocation to the roots of fall herbicide applications by products like DuraCor, will provide excellent long-term weed control. DuraCor offers control over a broader spectrum of weeds and at a lower use rate than its predecessor, GrazonNext HL. Contact your agronomist today to get started with DuraCor.

I hope you were able to relax and enjoy the Labor Day weekend. September has been fairly mild the last few years, so here’s to hoping Mother Nature cuts us some slack again this year. 
Since the summer officially ends September 22nd, now would be a great time to replace that nasty filter and give your furnace a test run to see if it ignites. If it doesn’t, contact your heating contractor to get your furnace checked out. (After you assure yourself that there is fuel in the tank.)
