In Planning Will Pay By Steve Becraft Agronomy and Business Strategy Team Leader Planning. There will be plenty of opportunities to learn more about its value before this spring is over. A few variables will combine to make the up-coming planting season truly unique. At Ag Partners, we have spent much of the winter preparing for this challenge and have taken several measures to maximize our ability to be productive.
Planning is the critical element to being both efficient and productive.
The growers in northwest Iowa that walk into their favorite retailer the day or day before they need something, without any prior planning, will likely experience elevated stress levels. I know we have planned and worked with a record number of growers this year, and this investment in planning will pay off for all who have participated in the process. For those of you who have yet to finalize your spring needs, it is not too late, and we would welcome the opportunity to service your needs. For all of us, communication, understanding, tolerance and a touch of grace will be key measures for dealing with the challenges we both have before us. We all need to manage our expectations, communicate frequently, work safely , and have some fun.
