Education is Name of the Game
Well, JackPlot!™ is actually the name of the game – but education is the main goal, along with having fun.
Ryan Moeller is regional product manager for Winfield Solutions and during dinner Friday night he gave growers a lesson in “R to the Seventh” – the Right genetics, with the Right traits on the Right soil types planted at the Right plant population in the Right crop rotation with the Right crop protection products and the Right soil fertility management. Even with a little competition from the hotel alarm system, Ryan stayed on message about how they can help growers maximize profit by choosing the right hybrids to fit their particular situation. “Every hybrid has its strength and weaknesses,” Ryan said. “Every hybrid is going to do well in a certain year and do poorly in another year.”
Ryan also talked about Advance Coat Zinc, which will be standard on all their new Croplan Genetics hybrids for 2009 at no extra cost to growers. “The Advanced Coat Zinc is applied to the seed with a polymer,” Ryan said. “It gives the plant a shot of zinc that it needs right away in a zinc deficient environment.”
