How Has The Weather Affected Your Planting Strategy

Apr 27, 2018
 
 
Has the long Winter only affected your planting dates? Or is it having a greater impact forcing you to adjust your crop decisions. How can these types of decisions affect the chemical market?
 
In a year with projected chemical shortages late planting may cause some growers to wait on chemical purchases. By waiting the sudden demand for chemicals may cause suppliers to sell out quickly causing delays on your orders and/or price increases.
 
If a high percentage of growers are forced to move from corn to soy; the affect could mean not enough soy chemicals available causing scarcity and price increases.
 
While we can't see the future we can plan for it. By purchasing and taking delivery on the chemicals you know will be used today, you can protect business from market volatility.
