December Update.

Hopefully everyone had a great Thanksgiving. For some it was a day off before another few days of harvest, as we are still taking grain at all of our locations. We are starting to wrap up harvest for the most part, so I just wanted to say thanks to all for turning to Premier for your grain needs this fall. We were glad to have decent weather. outside of a few stretches of snow/rain/cold.

Corn prices have been relatively quiet lately, holding above $6 for the entirety of fall. We are seeing corn shipments lagging behind their necessary pace, but that bearish factor is offset by production issues in the western corn belt. Locally, WI producers in general saw good yields on both corn and soybeans. Soybeans have been a little more active, catching some life after river levels recovered to some extent in late October and helped by soybean oil strength. Soybean sales and inspections have been strong as well. 

Now that the crop is in the bin, it’s a good time to set some selling goals and make a plan both for bushels in storage at Premier and grain in the bin. Contact us today to make a plan

As we move into the growing season, ensuring your crops have the nutrients they need to thrive is critical. Whether you and your agronomist planned for split-applied nitrogen or not, one of the most effective strategies to boost corn performance is with an in-crop application of nitrogen. This practice delivers nitrogen directly to plants when they need it most, supporting vigorous growth and optimizing yield potential. For farmers looking to enhance productivity while maintaining efficiency, top-dressing urea is a proven practice for success.

Although I’m a huge fan of winter, I also enjoy the way the earth comes alive at this time of year. The grass is greening up nicely, the trees are budding and farmers are beginning to till up the soil and plant this year’s crops. My biggest problem this time of year is figuring out what to wear. One day I’m in a t-shirt and the next I’ve got to put on a sweater. Do I wear spring colors or dark colors to hide the weight I gained over the winter? The struggle is real.
