As we prepare and finalize plans for the 2025 crop, we have to start thinking about how we will protect our plants in the fields. So many factors are beyond our control, but crop protection isn’t necessarily one of them. While things may not go according to plan or something can happen that isn’t what you planned for, you can have a solid base on which to build your protection strategy.
A lot of farmers are concerned with input costs versus the smaller crop prices we are seeing, and that is understandable. How do you trim costs without putting your crops and your livelihood at risk? When you are spending so much money on seeds, the last thing you want to do is feed a bunch of freeloaders with those hard-earned dollars you spent on your crop for the year. That is why it is important to be already planning your pest protection strategy, and according to Valent’s Eric Ott, it all begins at planting.
