ADM Quarter Profits Fall, Reporting Tight Crop Supplies

By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

Archer Daniels Midland Co. (ADM) reported that its quarterly earnings fell 21 percent, due to tightened crop supplies in the United States.

The company reported net earnings of $223-million, or 34 cents a share for its second quarter. The same quarter a year ago, ADM reported $284-million, or 43 cents a share. The company back in May suggested that its second quarter may be difficult because of tight crop supplies.

“The team managed well through this period, as tight U.S. crop suppliesreduced volumes,” said ADM Chairman and CEO Patricia Woertz. “Also, corn results improved amid volatile ethanol industry conditions.

Video: Spring weed control in winter wheat with Broadway® Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam)

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
