Stine’s agronomy team is more than just a sales force, they are a resource. Agronomists walk farmers through every step of the growing process and help them make seed selections, manage their chemical programs, treat fertility issues, manage soil conditions, make fertilizer recommendations and provide additional guidance to help increase their yields and profitability.

Agronomist Jeff Anderson enjoys working one-on-one in the fields with growers to earn their trust and help maximize their yields. Learn what advice he's giving to growers in these Stine Seed Minute and In the Field with audio and video clips.

Stine Seed Minute - Don't shy away from RR2 soybeans

Regional Sales Agronomist Jeff Anderson recommends that growers plant LibertyLink soybeans to fight lamb's quarters and water hemp.

Stine Seed Minute - Fighting Lamb's Quarters and Water Hemp

Conditions here in southwest Iowa and northwest Missouri have been WET, to say the very least!  We seem to be getting rain about every other day, along with strong winds.  For the most part, crops look good but in the bottom and side hills, they are struggling.  Guys are having a hard time getting beans sprayed and hay cut.  There has been a fair amount of fungicide being put on the corn when time is allowed.  I was down by Creston last week and saw some corn just coming up.  There are also a few guys that are still replanting beans.  It seems like every year it is something new and this year is no change. 

It has been quite an interesting year.  It is not often that we see a farmer planting on one side of the road and another harvesting on the other side!

This spring's nice weather has allowed farmers to get a lot of fieldwork accomplished, and the soil conditions seem to be good.  I would say for the most part we are 80 percent planted on corn and 25 percent planted on soybeans.   In some places corn can be seen breaking through the ground.  The heavy rains we received, as well as all the rain in the current forecast, could possibly slow things down for a bit. 

Please remember to be safe this planting season, and don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions.
