Corn School Managing Vomitoxin
Tuesday, July 23rd, 2019
Ag Plus will be hosting an agronomy day focused on fungicide applications for corn and soybeans. The event will be held July 25th at the Ag Plus Acre Watch Plot on State Route 14, east of State Route 9. It will start at 10:00 A.M. and will finish with lunch. History tells us that in stress years, applications like funcides and weed control are more important than ever. Please come and hear from BASF and the Ag Plus staff more about the importance of fungicides. If you are planning to attend, please notify your local branch or salesman.
Ag Plus is now offering free Delayed Price at all locations on corn and soybeans until 9/30/19, subject to the new rates in effect at that time if not sold by 9/30/19.
Markets opened higher on lower ratings last night but failed to hold into the morning session. Traders feel like the crop has caught up and is looking better so they have become sellers. Not much fresh news overnight. Still talk of China buying grains, just having them take what is on the books would be very positive. Brazil had a shipment of beans rejected because of low protein, maybe this will help our sales and shipments.
