Crazy Time of Year
Dustin Heylens (DSM, Region 1 – South Dakota)
It’s that crazy time of year again for the seed industry…ordering and shipping! In Eastern South Dakota, we have been very busy with a successful 2012, considering the weather, and a fast and furious selling season this fall. Although we have heard some rumblings about supply issues, Producers Hybrids has a very deep lineup for 2013. We have solid products that we feel you can be confident about putting on your farm.
The next hurdle that my fellow DSMs and I are tackling is shipping. If the weather doesn’t change soon, planting season could come early yet again and be over rapidly, which will push shipping even more. I know we would all love to see many feet of snow, or at least some sort of moisture, this winter. However, we need to plan for an early spring once again, which means products will be shipped as soon as possible from Battle Creek. If you haven’t put your order in yet, be sure to talk to your DSM or dealer to ensure you get the products that are right for your farm. Also, be sure to check out the Yield Results and Online Product Guide on our website to learn more about our products and how we stacked up in 2012.
I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Safe travels and get Ready for More in 2013!
