Nitrogen is expensive and in tight supply for farmers in North and South America. Producers are being urged to have plans in place for getting supplies and putting them on judiciously. Nitrogen is also a hot-button topic when it comes to water quality. Nitrogen runoff into public waters is a problem that is looking for strong solutions. Many of those involve cover crops or a buffer strip to help stop the nitrogen from leaching. When you are doing all that you can to maximize the nitrogen you need without losing it, you need to have a strong tool in the toolbox to assist you.
Granular is excited to be offering producers the help they need when it comes to maximizing their nitrogen use. They are offering a new tool to help farmers pinpoint their nitrogen needs on their acres. Anthony Lackore is with Corteva and Granular, and he talks about how the product will change how farmers apply their nitrogen fertilizer. He likens it to using a printed map versus your phone?s GPS.
With the volatility in Nitrogen Pricing, this tool will be a money saver.
Lackore says they want to make the tools easy for farmers to deal with. By putting this tool in the hands of their advisors, they can give the producer quick and straight answers regarding the needs of their operation.
Lackore says this whole approach is still based on the boots on the ground knowledge of the farmer and the advisor about the operation.
