Is it too little too late? Is it just kind of a nuisance now?

Well, as far as harvest goes, it's been great not having that rainfall to delay things any.

It has not helped the wheat crop a whole lot, but it has helped that harvest progress.

And as I look across the countryside, I can see a lot of guys are getting soybeans pretty much wrapped up.

Corn's getting a good dent in it, so there's not a whole lot of acres left.

So If we can keep it dry for a couple more days, I think it's going to help those guys get things wrapped up pretty quickly here as we go into November.

Like I said, for the wheat crop, we could use a little bit more rain and then just to build that profile up so we can have a good start for next season.

Once harvest is done, what should guys be looking to do?

What are you seeing out there right now?

Well, the thing that I've kind of noticed, whether I'm talking to the growers here in Michigan or guys in Indiana or Illinois or even Iowa, is yields are higher overall than they expected with the drier, hot summer that we had.

So that's good from the grower perspective.

I do know there's some pockets that still were pretty hurt by the lack of rainfall and temperatures there.

But generally speaking, what we were expecting to get out of a crop, we're getting a little bit above that.

So I think that's kind of a positive spin on where we thought this season was going to end.

And given the fact that some of the producers did take advantage of better pricing over the summer, hopefully that's really good news.

Yeah, that's a good combination.

Talk to us about that calcium availability piece.

Yeah, for sure.

That's something that we've come to realize.

The further west you get in the United States, You know, the higher those soils are just naturally in calcium.

And many times those guys don't think that they need to apply any.

But in reality, you know, we're seeing good responses even with those base saturations that are in that ideal or even that high range because that calcium isn't available.

You know, calcium is very reactive in the soil, especially with things that are negatively charged like phosphorus.

Is there room for calcium?

Is there kind of a bare minimum where you say, if you're down to this point, you just don't mine anymore? Or how do you go about setting that up?

Well, I always start with that soil test, you know, and that's something you guys talk about a lot in getting a good baseline.

You know, there's certain levels or certain balances.

If those are off, then I'm still going to look at getting, you know, some balancing in there.

But if we've done a really good job over the last couple of years and have good soil conditions, then, yeah, this might be that opportunity to kind of take a little bit out of that savings account and utilize it.

But you need to use the tools to make the decisions and pick which nutrients you're going to do that with and not just do it across the entire board.

How does balanced fertility fit into this?

Yeah, that's kind of, you know, that starting point for everything.
