Cold winter days can be spent performing maintenance on planting equipment. Broken, worn, or missing parts can be costly if the equipment does not provide a properly planted uniform final stand. 

Burndown herbicide applications should be made 4 to 6 weeks prior to planting; however, this application may be delayed due to wet soils or poor environmental conditions. 

To raise high yielding crops, sulfur is a key element, yet many soils lack the amount needed to reach maximum potential.  Sulfur can be one of the most limiting factors in high yielding corn and soybean production systems.
