PRODUCTION GUIDE
In The Field, On Your Farm, In Your Community
WWW.FARMERSPRIDECOOP.COM
OUR PURPOSE
Our purpose at Farmers Pride is simple; we help farmers who feed the world. Farming is more than just a job
or a way of life; it is the center of economics for every nation and a vital part of everyone’s day. Consider these
important facts;
Each American Farmer today feeds 155 people per year; 20 years ago they fed 85 people per year.
Farmers will need to produce more food in the next 40 years than in the previous 10,000 years combined!
The world population will grow by an additional 2 billion in the next 20 years.
At Farmers Pride we are proud to work with farmers to meet these goals while at the same time protect the
environment with practices that preserve our land, water, air and wildlife. Consider these important attributes of
agriculture;
Advances in seed science, machinery and precision-farming tools like Global Positioning System (GPS) mapping
help farmers grow more with simplified weed control and reduced chemical applications.
Conservation tillage (reduced or no-till planting) conserves soil and water, and reduces soil erosion and fuel usage.
“Go Green!” One acre of corn removes 8 tons of harmful greenhouse gases.
We are extremely proud of our tag line; “In the Field, on the Farm, in your Community”-it hits to the core value
of what Farmers Pride stands for. We are in the Fields-researching and recommending the best in agricultural
practices. We are on your Farms-taking the time to better understand your needs and bringing the best products/
programs available to assist you in achieving the best return on your investment. We are in your Community-and
in the various communities of which we serve to support farmers and their community as an important way of life.
Last year Farmer Pride sold nearly $150 million serving multiple communities. These profits were returned right
back to our local economy in the form of cash dividends ($750,000), capital reinvestments to better serve you
(over $20 million), property taxes ($261,000), local payroll ($5.9 million), and the support of local charities and
projects of which there are too many to mention in this space.
This year we expanded our energy operations with the purchase of Advanced Energy Fuels. Our goal is to serve
the energy needs of agriculture, commercial and residential owners with the best products in the marketplace.
We also expanded the grain handling capabilities at Neligh, Newman Grove and Osmond this year. These additions
are important to meet your ever-changing needs.
We offer you the very best in products (and yes, there are differences in products) that you will find in our 2015
Crop Production Guide. Please take advantage of our promise to provide the people, products and programs
designed to provide you success in a volatile marketplace. We take pride in this promise every day!
Thank you for your past business and future business-we want your business, but know we have to earn it every
day. Together, let’s make 2015 a great year!

IN THE FIELD
Seed treatments are not new in either corn or soybeans.
But the wide-range of protection and plant yield
response is new these days! Today’s seed protection
products offer you a variety of not only early season,
but in some cases all season long protections on a wide
range of pests.
Soybean seed protection has been around for
some time, but not as widely used as the corn seed
protection products. The soybean treatment products
have been improved greatly over the years. They offer
early season insect and disease protection.
We will continue to evaluate these products every year
in order to give you the best overall, comprehensive
crop plan and protections of your seed inputs. Farmers
Pride Agronomists can help you with the best plan for
your high yield goals.
ield Protection™
Powered by Seed Sh
ST+
Soybean plants get nitrogen from bacteria, more specifically a
particular rhizobial species of bacteria. For many years, soybean
inoculants were used when a well inoculated soybean crop had
not been grown on the particular field for 3 or more years. Recent
studies done with a corn/bean rotation show a 1 to 6 bushel
advantage for the use of soybean inoculants.
At Farmers Pride, we believe our Field Power ST+ is part of
your high yield production plan. Ask your local Farmers Pride
Agronomist our seed treatment package when making your seed
decisions.
