It is a busy time in the central Red River Valley with spring wheat being harvested and beets being lifted for the pre-pile. Thanks to a late planting season, the corn and soybeans in the area will need more time. “I’m confident they’ll reach maturity,” said Rocky Nettum, who operates Nettum Seed at Caledonia, North Dakota. “It sounds like some good weather coming up and we should be good to go.” Planting didn’t begin until mid-to-late May. After a wet start, the rains turned off in July. “The crops are doing really well for the little bit of moisture that we’ve had.” The symptoms of Iron Deficiency Chlorosis are a familiar sight. During RRFN Crop Tour, Nettum encouraged growers to use a Soygreen type product on the hot IDC ground. Watch the video.
