Agronomy on Ice can be described as a trade show on a frozen lake. With wind chill in the -30 range on Devils Lake Wednesday, it didn’t feel like spring but that was a big part of the conversation. With prices at current levels, Pioneer Field Agronomist Kristie Sundeen says there are still a lot of decisions to be made. “We’ve got some guys more interested in soybeans than in the past so I expect to see an uptick in soybean acres,” Sundeen told RRFN. “We still have fairly strong demand for corn; I don’t think we’ll see anyone backing off on corn and there’s still interest in canola.” Sundeen believes many acreage decisions will be based on the weather this spring. The supply chain issue will also be a factor. “The best thing you can do is to go in and talk to your retailer and get what you need booked at the very minimum. If you can get it paid for and in your warehouse, that’s even better.”
