Monthly, on the 1st. What is happening in the ground right now and what should be going on it: crop stage commodity by commodity, the nutrition timing that goes with each stage, water and weather, and the material markets behind the decision.
Every term below appears in an issue we published. It is a record of coverage, not a list of intentions.
A historic El Niño is loading up, so October is the last clean window for post-harvest nutrition and fall soil sampling. Sulfur at an all-time record is pulling phosphate with it, and wheat is at its best price in years for open ground. Spotlight: KMS and Zeltec with Mycorrhizae.
Almond harvest ahead of schedule and a short pistachio crop against 600–900 million lb industry estimates. The post-harvest nutrition window, and a wet-winter forecast that shortens the fall soil sampling season.
Almond harvest starts early and the pistachio off-year crop runs short. Silage corn chopping, cotton into cutout, pomegranate split, and why post-harvest soil sampling matters now.
Cotton at peak bloom, wheat harvest wrapping up, table grape harvest active. Spotlight: compost and soil/water testing while commercial nitrogen stays expensive.
The hull split window nears, pistachios are in post-bloom nut fill, corn and cotton planting are active. Spotlight: JABB SBb 2.5™ and Nitryx™.
Pistachio bloom is active, wheat prices are firming, and almond hull split is on an August target. Spotlight: Premium 97™ and Premium 95™ HA.
