Gearing up for another year Spring is here at Parrish & Heimbecker

By Brook Thalgott

As spring arrives (rather slowly this year), the southeast’s agricultural community is getting ready for another year. It’s also the perfect time to make sure your operation has what it needs to produce good yields. Jason Stewart, agrologist at Parrish & Heimbecker (P & H), has a lot to say about what farmers should be considering this spring.

Take a look inside

Jason says now is the time to book into P & H’s spring tissue sampling program. “We will come out, take samples, and send them away for analysis. From there, we can help you address any plant health and soil interaction issues and recommend the products you need to increase your overall profitability,” says Jason. The time is now to get booked because the best time for analysis is just before spraying. That way, you can be sure to get the information you need to make the best decisions for your operation.

Think soil

“We also have a short window to address soil health issues,” says Jason. “Zinc and boron can be deficient in our region. Zinc can impact spring wheat

and durum, and low boron can impact canola. Book now to see what your soil is up to, or we wait until fall to do work for next year’s crop.”

You can also address issues this year based on soil testing done last fall. “We can take your results from last year and determine what we’re dealing with. From there, we can make suggestions on how to address any issues in the spring,” he says.

Inputs matter

With fertilizer having the largest impact on both on your yield and your costs,

Jason says that talking to an expert about what your operation needs is vital. “When you know what is happening with your soil and plants, you can make good decisions about what you need to improve conditions,” says Jason. “We can help find the product that can make the difference between an average yield and a great one.”

No matter what size operation you have, the advice of an agrologist can make a difference to your bottom line. “Tissue and soil testing are excellent tools that can help you make good decisions,” says Jason. “An agrologist has the expertise to help guide you. We’re here to help you plan for your specific needs, maximize your inputs and improve your profitability.”
