If you decide to apply a pre-harvest, find the spot that likes to hold on longer than every other part of the field. Then, this is what Joe observes: 1. The peduncle- right under the head- should be yellow and the stems losing their green color. 2. Take the kernels from the middle of the head, and using your fingernail,ย ย try to indent the kernel. If it holds without any โ€œdoughโ€ or liquid squeezing out the end, itโ€™s ready. If not, come back in a few days to the same spot and check it again. If you have any questions, donโ€™t hesitate to call us at (701)453-3300! #AFarmersSeedCompany

Recent storms left a mark across our region, including at several Arthur locations. Today we're announcing a major investment in emergency and long-term grain handling infrastructure at our Ayr and Pillsbury locations. The Arthur Companies will construct over 5 million bushels of new bunker storage and significantly expand drying capacity ahead of harvest: โ†’ Ayr: Two new 1.3 million bushel paved bunkers will be built with upgraded unloading, truck flow, and fan systems. Adding a new 7,500 bushel-per-hour dryer to triple existing throughput. โ†’ Pillsbury: A 2.5 million bushel expansion of the existing East Bunker will bring total capacity to 4.5 million bushels, including a new reclaim conveyor system for greater efficiency. A new 10,000 bushel-per-hour dryer will be added during construction. We want growers to know they can count on us as partners to get through this recovery and come out stronger on the other side. Contact your merchandiser today with any questions.

Crops are starting to flower across the farm, and that means two questions come up a lot: ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜บ ๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๏ผŸ ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ช๐˜ต? Letโ€™s break it down by crop: ๐–๐ก๐ž๐š๐ญ Timing fungicide on wheat can be tricky. These two photos are from the same field. Notice how the headlands are already flowering, but the rest of the field is a day or two behind. Thatโ€™s the challenge: you pull in thinking itโ€™s go-time, but the majority still isnโ€™t ready. Some products promote earlier applications, but I highly recommend waiting until at least 80% of the field is flowering for best results. ๐๐ž๐š๐ฌ Peas are a little more straightforward. I usually suggest waiting until the first pod is formed to spray. Since peas flower over an extended period, spraying at first pod helps protect the plant through its entire reproductive stage. ๐‚๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐š Canola is one of my favorite crops to scout because so much can change in just a few days. One common misconception: a bright yellow field = 100% bloom. Not quite! A field thatโ€™s glowing yellow is usually only about 50% flowered. The sweet spot for spraying? 30โ€“50% bloom. Even if youโ€™re slightly past that window, you can still get major benefits from a fungicide application. ๐‘พ๐’‰๐’š ๐’”๐’‘๐’“๐’‚๐’š? Fungicide technology has come a long way. Todayโ€™s products not only protect against disease but can also extend plant life, leading to potential gains in yield and test weight. ๐Ÿ“ฑ Curious about fungicide options and how to make it pencil out? Letโ€™s talk. Weโ€™ve got financing packages that can work with your operation.
