$0.50 run in soybeans this week would pay for about 1/2 of your ‘25 bean fert. Cutting your phosphorus rate in half doesn’t “save” you as much money & can put top end yields in jeopardy. Opportunity to capture this market run and use it to cover next year’s fertilizer inputs.

Mosaic was well represented at this week’s @Fertilizer_Inst Agronomy Conference and Expo! 🌱 @NEsoilguy discussed how to bring sustainability into business, @TABeyrer shared information about sulfur and its sources and @focht25 sat on a #regernativeag panel. 👏

Channeling my inner Dr. Ray as I look at soil health and crop nutrition plots across Illinois & Wisconsin this week. If I ever get to the point I know half of what he knows about soil, I’ll consider it a career well spent.

Adequate moisture late in the growing season improves nutrient uptake which increases test weight and nutrient concentration in the grain. Hear more from Taylor Purucker, a Mosaic Crop Nutrition Lead. #Harvest23

Sulfur deficiency in crops has become more common over time as less S is being deposited into the ground, and the nutrient is easily removed from soil. Discover why K-Mag® beats MOP for your sensitive crops. cropnutrition.com/crop-nutri…

New opportunity to get paid for carbon sequestration for some legacy cover crop users. So many new options emerging for farmers to find ways to partially or wholly finance sustainability investments into their operations.

0.69" early this morning at KGB Ranch is the largest single day precipitation event in last 246 days (Aug 16). Praying for more tonight (and please send some to Western Kansas/OK panhandle).

Got a little light reading in the mail today. One was a gift, the other I picked up on my own. Crop nutrition is such an important aspect of soil health. #neverstoplearning #cropnutrition

Rattlesnakes are NOT accepted at the lab 😬😬😬Please remove them before submitting your sample. #ThingsWeNeverThoughtWedSay
Weighing #soil samples from last field season & prepping them to send to @WardLabs for analyses & found this field note 😅: "Not the one w/ the rattlesnake". I had started sampling under a shrub, only to find a prairie rattlesnake 🐍👀😬 after a core or 2. Thus, I changed shrubs.
