I hope growers are paying attention to the true costs of these programs and not fall victim to the shell games and flashy prizes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). GPS Mapping and soil sampling.

Macks Page: A Trying year
http://mackcpag.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-trying-year.html
Thursday, November 20, 2014. As for inputs, at least nutrient wise, this is why we test soils on a regular basis. Lower crop prices combined with fertilizer prices that are not following suit add up to margin issues that are reminiscent of 1990's rather than the beginning of this decade. Therefore we'll have some serious discussions this winter on "needs" of the crop for 2015. 1) On snow-covered or frozen soil;. 2) When the top two inches of soil are saturated from precipitation;. This is not going to be...

Macks Page: Spring things
http://mackcpag.blogspot.com/2014/05/spring-things.html
Wednesday, May 21, 2014. Spring, if you can call it that, has been quite unusual to say the least. Obviously here in the Saginaw valley we are late. Growers are making modifications to planting plans, shorter day corn, more soybeans and likely more dry beans than anticipated. It makes me wonder how many of you are going to watch wheat a lot closer for 2015? Too bad we can't plant corn in the fall! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). GPS Mapping and soil sampling.

http://mackcpag.blogspot.com/2015/06/june-25-2015-thoughts.html
Friday, June 26, 2015. June 26 2015 thoughts. In a previous post I had discussed the issue of pop ups. The biggest concerns voiced by growers to me was would 10-34-0 used as pop up injure the plant, reduce stands etc. You tell me which side of row is 10-34-0 and which is premium low salt side.I'm running tissue tests on each to see if there are major differnces in uptake of nutrients. at this point, I dont see where the extra 7-10 bushel is going to come from to pay for the "premium" fertilizer.

Macks Page: Looks like summer..
http://mackcpag.blogspot.com/2014/07/looks-like-summer.html
Monday, July 21, 2014. Wheat harvest is under way here and will last longer than usual start to finish but first reports are that the crop is pretty decent. Yes, in some areas where we lost spots due to water or winter kill is going to bring some field averages down but where that is minimal, averages should be in the 80's based on these early reports.

http://mackcpag.blogspot.com/2014/02/from-time-to-time.html
Saturday, February 15, 2014. From time to time. That fall within our control and scope. And today, “PROFITABILITY”, in a far more global economy, and “SUSTAINABILITY”, in an ever increasing regulatory intrusion into our operations is paramount to decision making. Our network of consultants is there for our clients to tap into. If one of us does not have an answer to a question they have, maybe one of the other guys does. Can you get data from other labs…of course. Is it good? February 15, 2014 at 8:58 PM.
