If you assumed Nebraska was too hot and dry for white mold to be a problem in soybeans, think again.
Galen Samuelson, a farmer and dealer from Wakefield, Nebraska, knows all too well how devastating white mold can be.
"We don't have it consistently every year, but with our temperature and humidity, it can hurt us quite bad," Samuelson says. Looking for alternatives, he explains, "What I like about Heads Up is that it's non-harmful to the beneficial fungal colonies in the soil." Galen has been using Heads Up for several years now, after first hearing about it through a small ad in a regional newspaper.
When asked to write about Samuelson Seed, Galen said the following:
"Samuelson Seed is a 4th-generation, family-based company. It started with my grandfather, and I'm now starting to pass the torch to my son, Caleb."
"In the early 1990s, I started working with a company whose focus was on plant and soil health before those benefits were widely known. I've continued to keep plant and soil health the main focus in our farming operation decisions."
