The slow start to the planting season isn’t a concern for most fertilizer applicators.
Kevin Johnson, president of the Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association, tells Brownfield…
“We had a tremendous fall season last year, so I think most retailers are still ahead of the game going into the season.” He says, “A lot of dry fertilizer, a lot of ammonia went out last fall.”
Brendan Bachmann, director of FS agronomy at GROWMARK, agrees, and says the mild winter was also beneficial.
