At Bremen, North Dakota, Pioneer rep Donny Allmaras likes the prospects for the corn in his area. “The average frost date is somewhere around the 27th of September but a lot of times we make it into October and we all know that October can be super warm, September can be super warm. There are a lot of reasons to be optimistic because the crop itself looks fantastic. We’re just a little short on growing degree units.” Seed-buying decisions are often influenced by the most recent growing season. “It does seem like we have tunnel vision and just look back to the last year, but there’s a lot of infrastructure that has gone up in this area and continues to go up. A lot of guys are set up with some really nice grain-drying facilities and they’re prepared for this kind of thing.” The full interview with Allmaras can be found on the Red River Farm Network YouTube channel.
