Spring is quickly approaching and soon planters will be in the ground. However, this past week at the Western Farm Show, it sure didn’t feel spring was right around the corner. The winter storm this past week brought the promise of a brief break in the drought. Area snowfall ranged from 4 to 14 inches, which was a welcome sight despite severely cutting into the farm show attendance on the first day. However, later in the show, the crowd picked up substantially and we were able to see many of you at the Producers Hybrids booth. We were happy to see both our faithful customers and some new faces at the Western Farm Show. Customers shared that they heard about us through our performance in the field the past few years and many were looking for the newest most technologically advanced products, so they came to see us. It was great to hear this feedback at the farm show and I think it really speaks to our superior performance even in these tough years.
However, winter farm shows aren’t the only thing going on right now. As the weather turned cold again and snow fell, spring calves began hitting the ground. Many growers are thinking about taking care of their cattle, getting their planters prepped, and planning and finalizing chemical applications. With the recent moisture, some here in Kansas are just now making the decision to go with corn instead of milo or other options. All of these headaches cause for a busy time of year, but a very important thing to consider is your current seed order and if you will have the seed you need. There has always been talk of short supply in years like this one and there are always challenges. Here at Producers Hybrids, we have had a great year and are capable of supplying even more. If you are unsure of your current order or simply need to finish filling acres, contact your local DSM. I speak for all of us when I say we are truly “Ready for More.”
Thank you for your business and we look forward to another great year with you in 2013!
