CHS Ag Services applied a record amount of fertilizer this past fall. General Manager Ryan Anderson says that is setting up the company well for spring. “We had a record fall (application season) and we added new plants including an over 8,000 ton plant at Badger, Minnesota that is replacing a 900 ton plant; we’re at the point where we could almost hold our spring needs before we hit the field.” Anderson expects corn acreage to be up in the northern Red River Valley this year. “I think corn bags will be up over last year, our sales would tell us that today,” said Anderson. “Spring wheat and soybeans will be relatively flat, but the corn acre looks stronger and that may take a few spring wheat acres down.” Anderson says Mother Nature and planting dates will be the biggest consideration.
