Here at Britton Agronomy, we are prepping for spring rush, which looking outside could be here very soon. The fertilizer plant is basically full now, so we are ready to start spreading fertilizer Please refer to the CEO message at the beginning of this newsletter for an update on fertilizer supply. We recommend staying in touch with your Trusted Advisor and planning ahead, as availability may become limited this spring
We have also been busy loading up with bulk and packaged chemical. We don’t foresee any supply issues with chemicals at thi ti B t it’ till good idea to g potentially nee your Trusted Ad for those gallons
We are still working to cover needs on some seed corn, which has been surprisingly difficult this year.
All seed companies have used up seed supply the last couple years so the piles we draw from aren’t as big as normal. I do expect we will be able to fill all our customers’ needs for seed this spring. On that note, please be in contact with your Trusted Advisor today if you are looking for more seed than you have previously booked. This gives us time to find the right seed for you the customer.
W l ki f ard to working o have a great n. Stay safe and ing!

Fuel markets continue to be driven by global uncertainty, with ongoing conversations around geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Iran, impacting diesel and gas prices. While markets have seen some volatility, including excessive increases in crude and diesel, much of this is tied to mixed signals around international negotiations.
At this time, market guidance is to avoid being long on diesel, as conditions could shift quickly If tensions ease, we could see prices move lower, but as always, timing remains uncertain. As of this writing, crude is down $10 and diesel down $.50 simply because the US claims talks with Iran have been had and are going well Of course Iran vehemently denies this. If The US gets a handle on the situation I feel comfortable saying markets will drop
