What happens below the ground is just as important as what happens above!  More and more research is pointing to root health as the key to increasing crop productivity in the future. As a part of an ongoing commitment to root health and pest defense, Syngenta Seedcare scientists around the globe have been analyzing the interactions between roots, diseases, moisture efficiency and nutrient utilization. Through its research efforts, Syngenta Seedcare developed sedaxane, a seed treatment fungicide with a new mode of action designed specifically to improve the quality of roots. Marketed as Vibrance® seed treatment, sedaxane has proven it can help enhance crop performance through its RootingPower characteristics. Whether growers choose to use a seed treatment or other Syngenta management recommendations, we remind all growers to keep roots top of mind as contributors to a healthy plant.  Syngenta is a proud sponsor of All Aboard Wheat Harvest.  We wish you luck on this week’s giveaway question!

    A few years ago we were getting one to two loads dumped per day in Oklahoma. We took shifts moving them in line. It was awful.

    We would haul our corn in the winter and would go there the night before so we had a decent spot in line but we would still wait 6-7 hours after they opened at 7 am!

    Full days, sometimes longer than that, back when the Coors elevator accepted barley the day it was harvested rather than having everyone bin it.

    I was in the same lines as Kenneth Lund was for 10 hours. those lines went on for about 3 days. The elevator guys would “mark” the line about 8 p.m. If you were behind the mark you just stayed in line for the next day.Did spend a lot of time shootin’ the breeze with everybody.

    Back in the late 70s and hour and a half was not uncommon at the smaller elevators and the smaller trucks of farmers, but at our local elevator we don’t have to wait more than 15 to 30 minutes may be the longest wait now as they have 3 pits to dump in. Thank goodness we have as many local elevators in our area that we do for hauling grain to!

    Do overnights to dump corn count?

    If not my longest wait was probably only about an hour and a half. Most of our hauls are to Hutchinson, KS terminal and even when the lines are over a half mile long they move pretty quickly.
