NEW & EXCLUSIVE TO PRECISION AG<br />

For progressive growers who want to attain a higher level of success with<br />

every acre, PRECISION CORE is the superior-quality fertilizer program<br />

that provides outstanding nutrition, ease-of-use and the added support<br />

of the experts who developed it.<br />

SALT INDEX<br />

“ Salt index is a measure of the salt concentration<br />

that a fertilizer produces when dissolved in the soil.<br />

The higher the salt index rating, the more severe<br />

the salt effect or fertilizer burn will potentially<br />

be on your crop. It is important to consider the salt<br />

index of your fertilizer, as well as your rate and<br />

placement of fertilizer, to ensure you are not injuring<br />

your seed investment. “<br />

– KATIE<br />

P R E C I S I O N A G • S E E D G U I D E 2 0 1 8 • P A G E 6


PRECISION CORE FALL<br />

EXCLUSIVE TO PRECISION AG, CORE FALL is manufactured to perform<br />

in both surface-applied and banded applications. Core Fall uses not only<br />

NBPT technology to protect your investment, but has been formulated to<br />

have an acidic pH that will further reduce volatilization losses. The sulphur<br />

distribution on Core Fall is impressive and will begin to release at crop<br />

germination and continue to feed your crops all season long. Adding<br />

potash to Core Fall is important for plant and soil health, and also makes<br />

prairie crops more efficient in dry conditions.<br />

Precision Ag recommends that Core Fall be combined with a Precision<br />

Ag MicroEssentials program at seeding to give your crops the balanced<br />

fertility they require to maximize ROI for your operation. Core Fall can<br />

be applied at various rates, depending on your yield targets. Core Fall<br />

can be customized with Precision Ag’s MicroTech science to address any<br />

micronutrient deficiencies the crop may encounter.<br />

FALL OR SPRING FLOATING YOUR FERTILIZER?<br />

WE HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THAT!<br />

Precision Ag offers custom floating services based out of the Griffin<br />

office. Our floater is variable rate equipped. We are able to float<br />

fertilizer, dry chemical, seed, or a combination of products. Contact us<br />

for more information.<br />

• Buy fertilizer at low fall prices<br />

FALL OR SPRING<br />

• Store your fertilizer in the ground, not in a bin<br />

• Use our CORE FALL and reduce the risk of urea volatization<br />

• Save time and tank space by not filling your drill with urea<br />

• Allows flexibility in building your fertility program<br />

WHY FLOAT?<br />

“Floating fertilizer is a great time management tool. Fall floating<br />

allows the customer to apply product in the fall so they don’t<br />

have to worry about the storage of fertilizer all winter. In the<br />

spring this allows the customer to seed more acres per fill<br />

without stopping the airdrill, increasing seeding efficiency.”<br />

CHOOSING A VARIETY OF WHEAT<br />

“ When choosing a variety of wheat, a grower should<br />

consider a number of variables: protein levels, plant<br />

height, red spring/GP/soft white, midge tolerance, etc.<br />

Always consult with your Precision Ag agronomist to<br />

find the right wheat to fit your farm.”<br />

– JOEL<br />

WINTER WHEAT<br />

CWRW<br />

SPECIAL PURPOSE<br />

AC Emerson<br />

• First wheat to have R rating<br />

for fusarium<br />

• Excellent lodging resistance<br />

• Shorter straw than checks<br />

• High test weight and improved<br />

protein<br />

• Very high grain yield<br />

CDC Ptarmigan<br />

• Strong straw<br />

• High yielding<br />

• Awned<br />

• Medium maturity<br />

• High starch content<br />

• Seed Slowly<br />

TOP TIPS FOR GROWING WINTER WHEAT<br />

Winter wheat performs better if seeded at speeds closer to 4 mph.<br />

• Seed Shallow<br />

Seeding shallow (1/2 to 1 inch) allows the seed to take advantage of moisture<br />

provided by fall rains. Research has shown that as little as 1/3 inch of rain is often<br />

enough to successfully establish winter wheat that was seeded shallow.<br />

• Seed Heavy<br />

The rule of thumb is to seed at 1.75-2.5 bushels per acre. Higher seeding rates create a<br />

denser, more uniform stand and are especially important in high moisture areas. Target<br />

plant populations of approximately 30-35 plants/ft² are critical to winter survival, crop<br />

competitiveness, and yield potential.<br />

• Seed Early<br />

The optimal seeding window across most of the prairies is between September<br />

1-15. Don’t wait for moisture prior to seeding; winter wheat needs very little moisture<br />

to germinate.<br />

• Fertility<br />

Adequate seed-placed phosphate will aid in the establishment of a healthy winter wheat<br />

crop in the fall and increase winter hardiness. Using MicroEssentials SZ has demonstrated<br />

higher yields and grain nutrient concentration compared to MAP or a MAP blend.<br />

Applying MicroEssentials SZ results in maximum yield and increased nutrient efficiency.<br />

NEED INOCULANT?<br />

Ask your Precision Ag office<br />

Inoculants are living, breathing organisms<br />

that need to be carefully handled in all<br />

aspects of production, manufacturing, and<br />

storage of the product.<br />

For this reason, we deal with companies<br />

that can deliver both the quality and the<br />

quantity of industry leading inoculants.<br />

There are many companies selling bugs for<br />

your pulses, but we are selling inoculants<br />

that will perform.<br />

WHY WE TREAT PULSES<br />

" The more times you grow peas or lentils on the same piece of<br />

ground, the higher the risk of disease. Have you ever noticed<br />

the best pulse fields are often seeded on virgin land? If you<br />

have peas or lentils as part of your rotation, a seed treatment<br />

that targets the root rot complex is a great place to start in<br />

managing disease risk. Aphanomyces and fusarium root<br />

rot are serious diseases for pulse growers. With Precision Ag's<br />

investment in seed treatment equipment we can custom treat<br />

pulses right at seeding time."<br />

ALFALFA VARIET Y TIP<br />

“ When seeding alfalfa make sure you have more<br />

than one variety in the mix. You should have at least<br />

a creeping root and a tap root. That way, whether<br />

it’s wet or dry, you should have a decent crop.”<br />
