If you haven?t been talking about the hottest topic in agriculture, right now, you might want to think about it. Nitrogen has been at the top of everyone?s mind heading into the 2022 growing season. Management of this element is very important if you intend to be successful in 2022. Especially at the high prices we are seeing. Don?t you want to look at a field and say, ?Hey, I don?t have to put as much on these acres, then if I had just done a broad application.?? So, what should you be thinking about for this year?
Anthony Lackore is with Corteva, and he lays out their program, through Granular, to help farmers increase their nitrogen management capabilities. It uses crop optimization to pinpoint what you need on which acres. Lackore likens it to how we used to navigate directions compared with now.
With the nitrogen supply issues and costs going into the spring, having optimization of those dollars is essential for growers.
Even though the new nitrogen tool from Granular works with a lot of algorithms and data entry, it still depends largely on boots-on-the-ground observations of your field. That is why it is important to be working in tandem with your crop advisor.
The last thing farmers want to have to do is get a master?s degree in computer information systems to use the tools they need for their day-to-day operations. Corteva believes this too, that is why the nitrogen tool is very easy to use and will not be a giant timewaster for producers to work with.
