It's All About Options When Choosing Varieties
Tommy Horton
Boman echoes Evans' thoughts about the big investment that producers make on the front end of the season with their seed purchases. Not surprisingly, he says it's more important that producers determine what kinds of wilt diseases exist and if they have root knot nematodes in their fields before making such a huge investment in seed varieties.
He says there is a huge spread in some of the on-farm trials he has witnessed, and that can translate into $200 to $300 per acre, depending on the severity of the disease problem.
What does all of this mean for a producer? Boman says it's all about psychological pressure and how a farmer deals with it.
"Once you put the seed into the ground, you have to live with your decision the rest of the year," he says. "That's why it pays to make an informed decision on the front end."
