Spring
By Levi Van Beek, Applicator/Agronomist, Irene
April starts just next week, and with things starting to ramp up, we need to start thinking about fungicide application. Speak with your local CFC agronomist who will have an advanced knowledge and understanding of fungicides, at your service. Try fungicide even on one field to see the positive gain of stalk health, moisture, and other possible ROI gains. There are certain programs that can get a fungicide onto one or many of your fields today. Central Farmers Coop is your one-stop shop for all seed, fertilizer and chemical, as well as a vast knowledge for all your agronomy needs.

Spring Season
By Chris Rutledge, Agronomist, Irene
Plant 2025 is almost upon us. Talk to your agronomist about any last-minute changes that need made or products that need ordered. Make sure to stop in and pick up your Quickshot planter box treatment for planting. Quickshot is a dual-purpose box treatment that blends a fluency agent with a full nutrient package. Now that tar spot has shown its presence across the entire area, we need to be monitoring very closely this season. CFC has purchased drones for fungicide application and 2025 would be a great time to apply some fungicide to your acres so you can see the benefit. I wish you all a safe season!

Spring
By Leo Hoiten, Agronomist, Lyons
It’s time to start thinking about Spring. The month of March has been going fast with the nice weather we are having in our area. The weekend forecast is looking to bring some much-needed moisture that we’ve been waiting for all winter. One thing to keep in mind, with it being so dry and before we start spreading fertilizer, is to ask about our nitrogen stabilizers. N-Fixx XLR is our main choice. This will help coat and protect your Urea applications and prolong your Nitrogen efficacy once applied. Another product to ask about is Fertilink DG . Fertilink DG can help retain nitrates and improve soil quality. All these benefits will help increase stalk girth and larger root mass increasing nutrient uptake resulting in more yield for your bottom dollar. Reach out to your local CFC agronomist and good luck with planting for spring 2025!
