John had a busy last week, continuing on a Midds project. He brought in 335 tons, all destined for over seas destinations.

For the farming and for the trucking, what is going on in the world is of immense importance to me. Financially and from an operation side of things. From the fuel we buy to the loads we haul that get exported, everything is connected. I pray that the people that bring you your daily need have a safe and plentiful day.

2026 Crop season planning got me diving into data lately and come up with something I thought was worth sharing.

Most fertility programs still start with a standard soil test and end with a flat rate across the field. Easy, familiar, and expensive.

When we layer in WEOC/CEC by zone, things change fast.

Here’s what we consistently see when comparing programs:

Standard soil test recs + grids
• Broad averages
• Over application
• Money spent where the soil doesn’t need it

365 soil + Zones
• Better targeting of nutrients
• Reduced over-application
• Smarter placement, less waste

365 soil + Zones + Ferticast
• Nutrients matched to biological capacity
• Rates adjusted by zone, not field averages
• Inputs applied only when the soil can actually use them

💰 Result:
Lower total fertility spend without sacrificing yield
In many fields, we’re cutting unnecessary dollars first, then reallocating where response actually exists.

If you don’t know your WEOC/CEC, you’re guessing how hard your soil can work for you.
We build zones, test them correctly, and turn that data into real fertility savings.

If you want your fertility dollars working instead of leaking out of the checkbook, start with the cerified soil biology haney soil test at Agronomy 365.

Here’s an example from our farm- 1 field 265 acres , just using one zone (4) of 71 acres. A savings of $5,100+ on just 71 acres and 250bu yield goal. *Not all zones are created equal- they differ by topography, water accumulation, soil color

At Goettl Seed & Fertilizer we live and breathe this everyday using precision technology and software. Us as farmers are usually slow to adapt technology whether its in your pocket or on the farm or the house you live in. Your probably precision applying your seed, why not your fertilizer placement?

A little slice of the world of Agricultural I live in. The UP & BNSF locomotive's and an MSC shipping container. The product in the container is destined for an overseas market. Not everything produced in the back 40 goes to you and your neighbors table. Agriculture is global and universal.
