The crop mix in the northern Red River Valley adjusted to this season’s wide range of weather conditions. “With the early heat, the spring wheat was not a fan of that, but the corn loved it,” said Ryan Anderson, senior director of operations, CHS Ag Services. “We were fortunate in some of our areas to catch some rain to keep the soybeans going. The sugarbeets go down deep and find that moisture; I think the beet crop looks good.” Fertilizer is starting to be booked for fall. We’re trying to put our growers in the best position that we can so that starts now for us. If we’re going to be on the right side of it, we have to start planning early.” Anderson says there is a good value for P and K for fall use, but nitrogen is a moving target. CHS Ag Services hosted its annual customer appreciation night Tuesday in Warren.
