Market
Watch
We have seen some improvement in prices the last few weeks due to cold,
rainy weather. With temps improving and less moisture, there has
been a good portion of the crop planted. Once the crop is in the
ground, markets will be flat at best, unless we see some very bad
weather. Traders do not feel at this point that we are far behind,
and not a significant amount of acres have been switched to beans.
We still have a long way to go before the crop is in the bin. Take
advantage of the up days in the market.
Thank
You!
Business has been spread out, but very good so far.
The 2002 crop-planting season started back in April with our first
starter fertilizer going out during the third week. However, it has
been slow going ever since. With the cold, rainy weather, the rest
of spring has drug on. We are still delivering starter
fertilizer! In previous years, planting corn has taken 10 to 15
days. This year, we have been going at it for six weeks! This
is going to be a good year, but all spread out. We would like to
take a quick opportunity to thank you for your business. Remember,
we are here to help you succeed in your farming operation, even when the
elements make it challenging, at best!
Seed
Still Available
*Syngenta*Asgrow*DeKalb*
It may take us a day or two to get in early corn (before 100-day), so
you need to plan ahead. Most beans are in stock at all times.
We have beans available in both mini-bulks and bags. Call us for
your needs on remaining seed.
