REMEMBERING RUSS | Today, we're thinking of our friend and coworker, Russell "Russ" Buck.
Russ spent 22 years at Peterson, most recently serving as dock supervisor. He was known for his dedication, sense of humor and the camaraderie he shared with everyone around him. Whethe....
STRUCTURE MATTERS | Not all soybeans are built the same. Same yield potential ≠ same performance.
🌱 Canopy
🌱 Disease
🌱 Standability
If you're only looking at yield, you're missing part of the story.

IDC ALERT | Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is showing its ugly head across our region—don't let it rob your yield!
IDC is tricky, unpredictable and can stunt soybeans all season long. But good news: there are ways to fight back! Learn how: https://t.co/UoUMVjsID4
KNOW THE STAGE | Soybeans don't grow in a straight line.
They move through vegetative and reproductive stages, often overlapping, and each one matters for different decisions.
Spray timing. Scouting. Stress.

PETERSON ADVANCE | Every year, dozens of new products hit the market. Not all of them work here.
That's why we built Peterson Advance, to do the vetting before it hits your acres. We don't guess. We measure.

PROTECT THE START | The most vulnerable stage of a soybean crop? The moment it's planted.
Seed treatments help:
✔ Improve emergence
✔ Protect against early disease
✔ Support uniform stands

DISEASE WATCH | Not every soybean issue is the same.
White mold. SDS. Phytophthora. BSR.
They can look similar, but behave very differently.

Today we pause to remember those who gave everything so the rest of us could go on farming, ranching, and building something worth passing down.
To all who served, thank you. To the families who carry the weight of that sacrifice, we see you.
Happy Memorial Day!
FIELD NOTES | Wheat rarely gives you everything at once. Yield and protein don't always move together.

Soybeans don't need to be big to be stressed. Cold conditions, crusting, herbicide injury and early insects can all impact stands before the crop really gets going.

SEED NEVER MADE IT | Some of the worst soybean stands in 2025 weren't caused by disease or weather.
It was placement.

As corn acres continue to grow across our region, so does the importance of scouting for diseases like:
🌽 Tar spot
🌽 Northern corn leaf blight
🌽 Rust
🌽 Goss' wilt
Knowing what to look for and when to respond can help protect yield potential. https://t.co/ss8dO19nmY
Agronomy isn't just a department at Peterson. It's foundational to how we help growers succeed.
