Ag Dealers Putting Your Harvest First

As we approach harvest 2024, it's important for growers to plan ahead and evaluate their past strategies to optimise their yield and return on investment. While soil testing is always a best practice, it's essential for growers to take additional steps to create an individualized plan that addresses their soil needs. 

One crucial aspect of creating an effective fertilizer plan is to identify fertilizer needs using various factors. For instance, growers must consider soil test calibration relevancy and yield potential in their fields to determine the appropriate fertilizer calibration. They also need to ensure that the nutrients are distributed evenly and given at the right time for maximum uptake. 

Growers must also consider their land tenure when creating a fertilizer plan, which can significantly impact the amount and type of fertilizer they should apply. Moreover, crops that require a boron boost should seek products like Aspire® to aid in uniform nutrient distribution and avoid fertilizer hot spots. 

However, creating a soil management plan shouldn't just be limited to the preparation stage. It's an ongoing process and requires constant evaluation and adjustments throughout the season. By conducting tissue testing to monitor crop nutrient status and working with agronomic experts to refine their plans, growers can stay on track towards their yield goals while maximising the return on their fertilizer investments. 

Meanwhile, the use of visual guidance technology has been transforming the way growers make applications, especially in full canopy crops. The technology has helped reduce crop damage by ensuring the proper application necessary to increase accuracy and productivity, leading to a faster sprayer operation as well as fewer skips and overlaps. Further, reduced operator fatigue, higher speeds, and greater infield efficiency are among the numerous reported benefits of this advancement. 

Combining effective soil management plans with modern technology such as visual guidance means that growers can create a more effective and productive harvest season in 2024. It's an ongoing process that requires constant evaluation, but with the proper planning and execution, growers can achieve optimal results - that can only be found at Ag Dealers like Future Ag.
