Growers have devised the following strategies to deal with a challenging wet spring and daunting market price forecast:
- Become more profitable per acre instead of expanding number of acres
- Monitor financial benchmarks closely
- Build more resilient soil to cope with weather extremes
- Devise a sidedress system to cover big acres in narrow windows
- Invest in fertigation and variable-rate irrigation to offset dry spells
- Broaden/diversify fertilizer sources and the number of crops grown
- Reduce soil compaction
