PTI Days 2022: NACHURS & Precision Planting teamed up for an exclusive event

August 2022- Precision Planting® hosted an event dedicated to NACHURS® dealers and growers to show the latest results for NACHURS products at the Precision Technology Institute (PTI) Farm in Pontiac, Illinois. This partnered event has been hosted annually for three years. NACHURS PTI Days is a great networking and educational experience. NACHURS Sales Managers, growers, dealers, and other industry members gathered at the PTI farm over two days. During the NACHURS PTI Days, we heard from Precision Planting’s Jason Webster, who discussed the newest technology on the farm and what the PTI Farm strives to accomplish. NACHURS Vice President of Product Development & Technical Services, Tommy Roach, presented on NACHURS products, results, and application rates. Following the presentations, participants were taken on a plot tour of the PTI Farm, including a drone presentation, plot data, results, and displays of their technological advancements for farming. The plots visited included all PTI studies on crop performance and high-yield studies utilizing NACHURS liquid fertilizer products. 


In previous years, NACHURS has ranked very high in the published results from Precision Planting. In 2021, NACHURS placed in three of the top ten results for Precision Planting PTI Farm including the #1 ROI trial. We are awaiting the results from the 2022 trials once harvest is complete. This event also allowed the attendees to try out the newest and most advanced technology in the agriculture industry, testing Precision Planting's newest equipment in a sandbox environment following the farm tour.

We’re grateful for our excellent attendance on both days of this event. Talk to your local NACHURS Sales Manager for additional partnered events. 


To encourage best practices of precision placement of fertilizers, NACHURS and Precision Planting are teaming up once again for an equipment rebate program to deliver successful fertility programs to growers across the United States. This offers up to $10,000 in rebates to NEW Precision Planting customers.

The Magnesium Factor

July 9, 2024
As I travel across Canada, it has been great to see moisture along much of my path. Greener pastures and ditches in Alberta, lush spring wheat, durum, and lentil crops in Saskatchewan, as well as many triticale, grass, and alfalfa fields, are being cut from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. I do not want to forget those potatoes spread across our country along with many specialty crops. As heat and moisture have brought germination, emergence, and vegetation growth, our crop nutrient management remains a key to success as we monitor the “Points of Influence.” Crop scouting, accompanied by tissue or sap samples, supports crop-based crop protection and foliar nutrient applications. As we have been programmed to concentrate on nitrogen, we are putting a lot of pressure on one nutrient to solve many deficiencies and concerns while ignoring the balance of fertility our crops may be looking for. In this blog post, I will not cover all the nutrient requirements but concentrate a little on magnesium, as I refer to what makes plants green. This spring, a significant amount of discussion surfaced around magnesium, and several growers requested magnesium for their cropping plans. Sometimes, what is new is old; looking back, magnesium has been a big part of many crop plans for decades. In sandy soils, specialty crops, and our high calcitic soils, we are looking to balance our oxygen and moisture space in soil levels. To better understand what we are looking at, I have included a list of what Mg is responsible for as well as soil activity stated: Magnesium Crops require magnesium to capture the sun's energy for growth and production through photosynthesis. Magnesium is an essential component of the chlorophyll molecule, with each molecule containing 6.7 percent magnesium. Magnesium also acts as a phosphorus carrier in plants. Necessary for cell division and protein formation. Phosphorus uptake could not occur without magnesium, and vice versa. Magnesium is essential for phosphate metabolism, plant respiration, and the activation of several enzyme systems.
