Cody Pettit, field agronomist with Pioneer Seeds shares several strategies to help prepare for weather concerns. "Where appropriate, tiling can keep your soil conditions uniform and can pay for itself in one year. I recommend choosing the right hybrid seed for your soil type. And with heavy rainfall, we lose Nitrogen, so consider using a stabilizer, which will help you manage Nitrogen better."
