PRE-PAY for your fungicide applications today and take advantage of discounts on selected fungicides for your 2024 growing season.

Fungicides applications are essential to not only fighting plant disease such as GREY LEAF SPOT in corn and WHITE MOLD in soybeans, but also in improving overall plant health. Healthier plants tend to have better grain fill during critical times in the season along with better standability during those late season winds.

WHY DO AG PILOTS USE SMOKE? Smoke can help determine wind direction, but if you are seeing it up close, the pilot is talking to you. A plane circling a field or using a smoke signal means the pilot needs you to quickly move out of the area. If you are that close, it can be very dangerous for you and distracting for the pilot. Your action shot could cause an accident. Stay back at least a quarter mile and upwind from where they are working. We need your help to have a safe season!
