Emerging Corn

Deliver Consistent, Season-Long Benefits

To get crops off to a strong start, you need to provide adequate nutrition from day one. WinField United research demonstrates that using a starter fertilizer is the best way to do that. 

Faster, more uniform emergence and better root development are common with in-furrow starter fertilizer use. Seeds have immediate access to essential macro and micronutrients, which is key to helping maximize yield potential and the benefits of bigger, more extensive root growth can carry through the season to improve stalk strength potential and reduce lodging.

2021 WinField United trials* planted with 10-34-0 + Ulta-Che® Zinc 9% had a response rate of 72.7% with an 8.3 bpa advantage and trials planted with 10-34-0 + Ultra-Che® Zinc 9% + Ascend® PRO had a response rate of 90.9% with an 8.8 bpa advantage. Ascend PRO offers a similar starter response in cool, wet confitions while also providing added consistency in warmer environments. 

Maximizing yield potential requires minimizing plant stress. Adding Ultra-Che Zinc and Ascend Pro plant growth regulator can help optimize early-season plant growth and development.

Crop and weather conditions are aligning for a potentially strong year, making this a season worth investing in. The majority of corn and soybean fields are showing excellent growth and yield potential. However, the consistently high relative humidity over the past few weeks has created ideal conditions, not only for crop development, but also for disease pressure, particularly tar spot. When tar spot reaches 50% severity on the ear leaf during grain fill, yield losses of 20-60 bu/ac have been reported.

I hope everyone had the chance to enjoy the Independence Day holiday with family and friends. Thanks to all of you who called in your orders early and helped minimize the added pressure that the short work week brings. I’d also like to thank all of you who returned your propane contracts by the due date. With a short window of when contracts are mailed to when they are due back, we really appreciate your patience and support. If reading this reminded you that your contract is still sitting on the kitchen table, just pick up the phone and call the energy office nearest to you. Our friendly staff will be glad to take care of you. On behalf of our energy team and everyone at your cooperative, thank you for choosing us to serve your propane needs again this year.

I’m going to start with something most of you don’t want to hear. In 4 months, you will be firing up your furnace for the first time. In 6 months, you’ll be shoveling snow. I’m not suggesting that you should go out and buy that new snow thrower that you’ve had your eye on. However, now is a great time to buy propane for the winter.
