2017 is shaping up to be another tight year for farmers and an agronomist says even small tweaks could help them increase their returns on investment.
Bill Mullen with Seed Consultants says prioritizing fields and utilizing yield history are key to making final planting decisions this year. “Not every field is going to get you 200 bushel corn,” he says. “We know the soil type will vary, the growing conditions will vary, and what the farmer has to deal with to get those big yields.”
He tells Brownfield farmers should also manage fields based on their potential productivity.
