Agronomist says fertilizing now is a good plan

An agronomist suggests taking action yet this fall on field fertility plans.

Scott Rowntree with Pioneer in Wisconsin says prices have come down on some inputs compared to the past couple of years. “Over the past couple of seasons, some growers have delayed or not made fertilizer applications just due to their extremely high prices of P and K fertilizers, and I think this fall presents a decent opportunity to buy some product at some lower prices.”

And Rowntree says waiting can be risky, because of global conflicts and Mississippi River levels.
