Last fall allowed farmers to prepare early for the upcoming growing season. United Quality Co-op Chief Operating Officer and North Dakota Grain Dealers Association First Vice President Jeremy Burkhardt says many farmers took advantage of last fall’s lower prices to lock in fertilizer. “It was probably one of the best falls for fieldwork, because farmers were optimistic, the weather was better than previous years and farmers applied fall fertilizer.” Burkhardt is expecting an acreage shift to less fertilizer intensive crops. “We don’t have a ton of acres in the Minot area, but we could see lots of field peas, beans or flax, the crops with lower input costs.”
