Ag retailers who build crop plans for their farmer clients need to consider how hyper-local weather forecasts and long-range outlooks can better position their solutions to deliver results. Planting dates, irrigation schedules, crop protection measures and more are all driven by weather.

Herbicides are essential tools in modern agriculture, helping farmers manage weed infestations and maximize crop yields. However, it’s important to ensure that the mixtures are compatible and won’t harm the crop. Cover crops serve as a natural weed management solution while enhancing overall sustainability.

Lastly, ever increasing crop yields over the decades has meant more calcium (Ca 2+ ), magnesium (Mg 2+ ) and potassium (K + ) leaves the field at harvest, which has the same effect as them leaching in high rainfall areas because H + is allowed to reign, and the balance of positively charged nutrients is thrown out of whack. *The

Measuring a farm’s carbon footprint is not as simple as saying, “Cover crops were used, so that grain’s sustainably grown.” Two neighbors, Farmer A and Farmer B: both farm 1,000 acres and use the same crop rotation schedule. Farmer A tills 30% of their fields, uses cover crops on 20%, and applies anhydrous ammonia.

Poor soils can cut crop yields by up to 50 percent—which, if we’re not careful, could result in more soil being tilled to grow more crops, which degrades more soil, which pushes us closer to climate catastrophe. And that has direct impacts on our food supply and climate. We’re seeing the power of storytelling, too.

Higher yields also suggest that applying microbial nitrogen in furrow can help bridge the nitrogen gap that can occur in fields with cover crop rotations. This occurs because the nitrogen is delivered directly to the roots, avoiding competition with cover crop residue.

Optimizing plant nutrition is a fundamental aspect of successful crop production. Nutrient deficiencies can significantly impact crop health and productivity, leading to reduced yields and compromised plant defenses against diseases and pests.

As a farmer, you know that climate change can greatly affect your crops and their yield. This includes recording weather patterns, soil conditions, irrigation practices, crop yields, and any other relevant metrics. Climate change can directly affect soil health, leading to challenges in crop growth and productivity.
