Agronomy manager offers advice for growers facing a wet, warm spring

AgriGold Agronomy Manager Mike Kavanaugh says many Midwestern farmers should plan for a wet and warm spring.

“We are telling growers to get their planters ready to go immediately all through the Midwest,” he says. “If a window presents itself be ready to go the last week of March for corn or soybeans.”  

He says if fields are ready for planting but don’t have nitrogen on them…“We’re saying leave that tool bar in the shed, let’s get corn in the ground, and develop a sidedress nitrogen program,” he says.
