Planning and Upcoming Dicamba Meetings
Jan 16, 2019
As our temperatures have cooled down and are predicted to get cooler for the next few days, we are still gaining sunlight every day. Since January 1 we have gained about 1.18 minutes (71 seconds) of possible sunlight every day. From January 1 to 31 we will have gained 52 minutes of possible sunlight or about 1.67 minutes (100 seconds) every day. The take home message from this information is that before we know it, spring will be upon us. Let’s take some time now and plan with your local Central Farm Service Agronomist and Central Advantage person about what needs to be done for this upcoming growing season.

Join the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota on June 1 for Ag Education
Day. Ag is so relevant in our region, but many children only “see” it from a bus window. This FREE
Museum day gives a hands-on opportunity to explore, learn, and ask questions about the importance
of agriculture in our everyday life. Teaching children about agriculture at a young age can help
them start recognizing how it impacts the world around them and can help them learn other important
aspects about life.

Highlights as of 5/16:
Corn:
Planting and weather conditions are the name of the game currently. With planting progress looking very favorable and the weather forecast showing above normal temps and below normal precipitation for much of the corn belt all signs point to very good planting conditions. With that, we gave up yesterday’s gains on old crop and put in some new lows on December corn.
