Hefty Seed Event

Please join Hefty Seed Event for a 2025 update meeting on Tuesday, August 20 at our store near West Point, NE (Nielsen Center: 200 Anna Stalp Ave, West Point, NE 58788) beginning with lunch at 12:30 and the meeting at 1 pm – 2:30 pm. Here are some of the topics we’ll be covering.

· Input costs for the 2025 growing season. Some products will be at or near their all-time low prices by September. Should you buy everything this fall for 2025? When it comes to seed, fertilizer, and crop protection costs moving into next year, we’ll talk about what will happen with prices and programs and when is the best time to buy in order to keep your expenses down.

· Weed control. Doesn’t it seem like weed issues are getting worse? We’ll talk about how to achieve 100% weed control even on waterhemp and other resistant weeds in soybeans, corn, and wheat.

· Fertility. How can you fertilize for maximum yield yet still keep your costs down?

· Seed traits. XtendFlex, Enlist, conventional…how do you decide what to plant next season in soybeans? Will dicamba be labeled again? In corn, there are lots of options, as well! While it may seem confusing, we will help you simplify things heading into next year.

· New varieties. Which new seed varieties have better drought or disease tolerance? How about standability and most importantly, yield?

· Industry news. If dicamba gets banned, what’s next? How will government policies on carbon, energy, and interest rates impact farms in the short-term and beyond? Why is there so much negative press about agriculture when the U.S. has more food than ever, while still at the lowest cost in the world, and at the same time farmers have reduced erosion, fertilizer applied per bushel, and most any other environmental concern?

There is a lot to talk about right now in our industry, and we’ll help you sort through all these questions and more. Despite the challenging weather in many areas this year, we are super-excited for this coming season, and we’ve got some great things to share with you. Please spend a couple hours with us, and we’ll help you prepare for the end of the 2024 season and get ready for 2025. If you can make it, please RSVP at https://heftyseed.com/storemeetings or give us a call at 402-372-9900 so we have enough food and chairs for everyone.
