The first 30 days after planting may account for only 20% of the crop cycle, but early stages affect 100% of your yield.

Early-season diseases, nematodes and poor stand establishment can hurt a crop long before symptoms show above ground. Paying attention to seed quality, planting conditions and early protection can make all the difference later in the season.

Stay ahead and keep a close eye on your fields. Healthy crops start early! 🌱

🥜Myth vs Fact: Peanut Edition🥜

Myth: Peanuts are nuts.
Fact: Peanuts aren’t true nuts— they’re legumes like peas and beans because they grow in pods. Even so, we still eat and use them like other nuts.

Myth: Giving your child peanuts too early can raise the risk of allergies.
Fact: New research shows that introducing peanuts early may help lower a child’s risk of developing a peanut allergy.

Myth: Peanuts are bad for weight loss.
Fact: Research shows that eating small amounts of peanuts or peanut butter can support weight loss and help people keep weight off over time.

Not everything you hear about peanuts is always true! Which myth fooled you the most? 👀
