A recent survey of Corn Belt farmers conducted by Pioneer shows the greatest concerns going into planting season are too much moisture, too little moisture, and crop nutrition.
Dan Berning, Pioneer Agronomy Manager for the western Corn Belt tells Brownfield crop nutrition and soil fertility is always on farmers’ minds.
“Especially as we have seen fertilizer prices escalate over the past few months, growers are wondering what they need to do to be more efficient with soil fertility.”
For farmers in the eastern Corn Belt battling wetter conditions, Berning says farmers may need to delay planting until conditions are fit and choose hybrids that are suited for prolonged wet conditions.
