With commodity prices where they are, growers cannot afford to guess about any element of that crop.  From seed to fertilizer and everything in between - you need a sharp pencil.

Steve Bailie, Branch Manager in Monroe for Helena Agri, says they're happy to offer VRT (variable rate technology) to their customers to help find the "sweet spot" on production costs.  Technicians literally evaluate every component of a field to try and find the ideal combination, providing the best return on investment.

Bailie says he's encouraging farms to get started on soil sampling now, as the crop comes off, to give you the best advantage on pre-purchasing for 2025.
