According to Pioneer Field Agronomist Kristie Sundeen, there is still a lot of indecision about seed purchases. Going into a new cropping season, Sundeen believes corn is in a good position to increase acres. “Wheat has been kind of flat to going down with the discounts, guys are a little bit sour on it,” said Sundeen. “Soybeans, for most guys, is easy because its lower inputs than some of the other crops so that’s giving some positivity. Canola acres are up in the non-traditional areas, but down in your traditional areas.” During the Lake Region Extension Roundup, Sundeen said 2025 contracts are out for sunflowers with some improved pricing and that may buy some acres this season.
