Use the Windshield, Not the Rear View Mirror

The spring of 2020 is setting up to be another season with a very tight window for fertilizer applications. CHS Senior Vice President of Agronomy Gary Halvorson says there is a lot of work ahead. “Especially, when you think we will get up to 92-to-94 million acres of corn, the volume of nitrogen alone that we have to handle is expediential.” Investments have been made in the past to address these challenges. Halvorson says that includes the hub fertilizer network, the import facility at Galveston and the relationship with CF Industries. A crop will be planted next year and Halvorson remains optimistic. “These long production cycles that ag has forces us to look out the windshield instead of the rear view mirror. We feel good about the chances ag has in 2020.”
