Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2018!
& Happy New Year
from all of us at La Grande, CPS.

It's a new year and that means a lot of things. There's a sense of a fresh start, goals and plans and dreams and high hopes. We're already lying to ourselves about losing weight and exercise. 

 For us at CPS it also means the completion of a merger of two leading, global Ag companies to create one of the largest agricultural companies in the world and we are a part of it all. Agrium and PotashCorp finalized the "merger of equals" January 1st and began operations as one entity, Nutrien, on January 2nd.  

 Here at La Grande we will still operate in local mindset with local people, local expertise, and a focus on local success for our growers. While CPS has been connected on a global scale for some time now, this means we're tapped into something on a scale the industry has never seen. It's the start of something big and that means a big future with big opportunities for our growers. It's all a pretty exciting way to start a new year. 

 Have a talk with your CPS Fieldman if you have any questions and welcome to the future!

Oregon Climate Forecast

It's been a mild winter. That might be an understatement.  Is it Spring yet? Do we wait for the calendar to agree? What should we expect for the fertilizer and fungicide seasons? How about insect pest winter survival? These are all questions we're watching and 2018 should keep us all on our toes. Here's a link to an interesting resource. The Seasonal Climate Forecast February-April 2018 is a collaboration between meteorologists from the Oregon Department of Agriculture and Oregon Department of Forestry. Take a look, there's a lot of information there and ton of other links. Snow packs are down but this report indicates some recovery is still to come. In other words, winter's not over yet. But, a forecast is a forecast not a guarantee and sometimes we have to move on something when we get a window.  Keep talking with your CPS Fieldman to plan upcoming spring applications and formulate timing strategies.

Fall Has Arrived

There's new snow in the mountains, frost on our windshields in the morning, and everyone is digging out a warmer jacket. Many growers have applied a Green-Up shot of fertilizer on grass seed fields are preparing for the Load-Up application to carry crops through the winter and into the spring. Fall herbicides are going out on perennial grass stands and new plantings of winter crops are going into freshly tilled ground.
