Dear Friend, Well, it's that time of year again. Time to get together all of the information we can to assist in your ability to make a well informed decision regarding your
herbicide program for the 2003 growing season. It is my intent to keep you informed of what I feel are the best options for your operation. Since needs and practices vary, there are several good choices. I will be
happy to go over this and help you to decide which is best for you. These are not all of your options, only the ones I feel offer the most value and benefit to you. Let us know if you require anything not listed here.
As always, resprays do not include application fees or additives. Please keep this in mind when deciding if a respray is necessary. I ask that you save this correspondence for future reference. We will
also be offering Mustang Max and Capture for your PPI insecticide needs. Mustang Max is a "cutworm only" protection for about $5.10/acre. Capture offers control of a wide variety of pests including grubs, wireworm,
rootworm, seedcorn maggot, and cutworm for around $11.50/acre. These are both excellent products with 45 days residual. Insects are often among our greatest yield robbers. Year in and year out, these products will pay
dividends more times than not. Please feel free to contact Don, Walt, or myself if you have questions. We are aware that you have many choices in suppliers, Casey Fertilizer strives to be your best choice!!
Thanks for the opportunity. Sincerely, John Crouch, manager
