 Rebecca-Jo's Agronomy Announcement

 It is officially the second week of March and the first day of Spring is only 10 days away!
(Don't worry, that snuck up on me too)
It won't be the norm, but it's also not a complete lie to say we could be planting next month!
(At least something always goes in in April)
I know, I know, there is still a lot of snow out there but if there is one thing I know to be true it's that it will disappear quicker than you think. 
With all that in mind, its time to really start thinking about spring and the upcoming crop year!

 Don't forget Wiarton Willie called for an early spring... although I don't know if I would trust him, given his success rate!

Considerations for Spring 2025

Planter Set Up Weed Control Are your planters ready to go? Can you think back to last spring, how did the planters work, are there things you need to try and improve on before you start planting this season?  Do you have a plan in place for weed control this season?  If it is your first time growing Enlist soybeans, do you know what product you are using? If you are using a custom operator are they aware you are growing Enlist? Reach out to your Pioneer rep if you need support nailing down a plan! Have a plan to scout early - the open fall may result in lot of small weeds early this spring.

Fungicide Applications Have you considered and planned for fungicide application in soybeans and in corn?  With the increased Tar Spot pressure in 2024 we expect more acres of corn to receive a fungicide application. If you  are considering a fungicide application you should have your product ordered from your retail early to ensure supply If you are not sure if they will need a fungicide application you should still be having conversations with your retailer and budgeting for it if needed.

Plots & Trials Does Seed Purchased Match Acres? Trying anything new in 2025? Are you planning any plots or trials? Have you identified where they will go? Do you have a plan in place to ensure things run smoothly during the busyness of spring? Do you have all your acres covered with the seed you have purchased? Did you pick up additional land that you need to order seed for? Did you hold back on ordering your full volume in December? Did your rotation change?  Reach out to your Pioneer Rep to firm things up if needed! As the snow melts and things start to green up, keep an eye on the wheat crop. It has had lots of insulation this winter, but time will tell how much water is laying under that insulation. Be prepared if those acres need to change. As you think back to 2024 what worked well for you, what didn't? Are you thinking about trying anything new? Can Pioneer help your find solutions to problems you faced last season? How are you going to push yields?
