PROTECTING YOUR INOCULANTS AND BIOLOGICALS
This is a must do!!
REMEMBER – These are living organisms that need to be protected and handled with care!!
BABY STEPS TO BIGGER YIELDS
It’s the time of year when all of us in crop production start doing the analyzing about what we did right or wrong in this year’s cropping program. ALPINE’s the same in that we look over yield data from the many plots we put out each season, trying to find new and different products to boost grower’s profits.
WHEAT PLANTING 2017
Wheat planting season will soon be upon us and it is important to plan ahead before putting the first seed in the ground. The previous crop has a part to play in planting this year’s wheat.Read more
PLEASE BE CAREFUL
When I was thinking about writing this blog it was going to be a lot longer and be a more technical subject. But, on my way home today I came across, yet another, self-propelled sprayer meets car accident. Yes, in August! Luckily no one was hurt.
CROP CAN SURPRISE US!
We’ve come through what could be called a very challenging spring in most parts of Ontario. Excessive moisture delayed planting in many parts of the province, and continued into late June which kept sprayers out of the fields many days, delaying crop protection applications.
LIFE OF AN ALPINE DSM IN SPRING
April is crazy in the life of a DSM. So far in the last weeks I’ve built application kits, picked up and delivered liquid caddies, picked up and delivered storage tanks, installed six application kits, all the while getting my farm ready for spring seeding. ALPINE is built on service to our customers, we stand out by going the extra mile and earning our customers’ business. Give us the opportunity and we will earn yours too. #doyouALPINE
4R’S ON YOUR FARM
On the educational circuit this winter, discussion around the 4R’s is in the forefront of cropping systems topics. By now hopefully everyone understands what the 4R’s represent in managing a crop fertility program: 1) the right source 2) the right placement 3) the right rate and 4) the right timing.
SPRING IS COMING
With the show season starting to wrap up, it’s time to start getting plans finalized for spring. Contact your local ALPINE DSM and get your drill kit, inoculant injector, ALPINE G22, storage tanks and micros planned out for seeding. It’s as simple as a phone call and we will be at your side to help you as much as we can. Have a great spring and be safe.
2 X 2 EQUALS?
In today’s agriculture, the buzz word is “precision”. Sometimes we jump over the basics and directly to “high tech”.
FEBRUARY ALREADY!!! CAN’T BE!! GO TIME WILL SOON BE HERE!!!
Before we know it, it will be GO TIME once again!!
It is hard to believe that the winter is slipping by so quickly once again!! The older we get, the faster it seems to go!!! Well we just think so?? The real truth is, that the older we get, the slower we get, and the faster things just seem to go!!! LOL. I know, the young guys are rolling their eyes!!! LOL.
