Farmers pay to give their crops the best start possible.
For soybeans, Peterson Farms Seed lead agronomist Rick Swenson recommends a fungicide seed treatment.
“As cheap as maybe $7 for doing a fungicide only, and if you throw in the insecticide and inoculant, talked to a guy this week (who said) it’s running $14 for that.”
He tells Brownfield farmers would be better off reducing populations to pay for a fungicide rather than not having that protection.
