I spy, I spy, who could it be? A local face is what I see!

In the latest Pioneer Agronomy Update, Pioneer Seeds Field Agronomist Kristie Sundeen offers recommendations for fall fertility. "Pull your soil samples," said Sundeen. "Knowing your actual P, K and residual N number field by field is the difference between guessing and placing the right rate in the right spot." Sundeen also encourages growers to consider seed decisions for 2027
