From pull-type spreaders to geo-referenced variable rate fertilizer applications, we'll meet you where you're at.
To successfully market your crop, you must identify your cost of production and profit per acre. With this understanding, you can factor in variable costs such as fertilizer, herbicides, insecticides and more. See how these inputs can impact your profitability.
We know you have options when it comes to purchasing your crop inputs. It’s our goal at Maple River Grain & Agronomy to provide our member-owners with the best possible customer service, from people that you know and trust.
Most of our employees grew up around here, and know what it takes to run a successful farming business. We pride ourselves on anticipating the needs of our customers, as well as on our well-maintained equipment and facilities, employee training and rapid response time.
Most farmers in this part of the Red River Valley are already employing at least some precision farming technology. Soil testing, for example, is the very foundation of precision farming. Combine yield monitors and variable rate fertilizer application are also part of the precision farming tool box.
Maple River Grain & Agronomy is proud to offer the hybrids and varieties that are best-suited to our local growing conditions, including those from DeKalb, Asgrow, Croplan, NK and Mycogen.
The best time of the year to sample for next year’s corn acres is right after your soybeans are harvested in the fall. For zone sampling, consider hiring an experienced technician from Maple River Grain & Agronomy, who can manage the entire process for you. Once your results come back, our agronomists in Casselton can overlay your soil maps with yield data from your own harvesting equipment to show you where less fertilizer, lower plant populations, or both, might be warranted. On the flip side, you may want to increase nutrient application and plant populations on your most productive acres to boost overall returns. While many growers look to soil testing as a way to better manage input costs, there are other reasons to consider regular soil testing as well. Applying the right amount of crop nutrients in the right place and at the right time can also help minimize losses due to runoff, leaching and denitrification. A series of recent surveys by The Fertilizer Institute shows that by overwhelming margins, farmers would prefer to manage nutrient runoff and water quality issues themselves, rather than ceding that role to government agencies. And there’s no better way to begin moving toward better nutrient management practices than soil testing. To learn more, or to schedule soil sampling for your farm, call us today.
