2017 Outlook
By: Scott Stutsman & Mark Stutsman
Although we all know that to predict what will happen in 2017 is impossible, Mark & Scott Stutsman offered up their thoughts on what they think is worthy to keep an eye out for in the industry.
The Season of Giving
As cheesy and cliche as it sounds, we truly are blessed with employees with hearts of gold. During this holiday season, our employees organized and donated to two different causes; the Johnson County Crisis Center and the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital.
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas; Stutsman Version
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the warehouse,
not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.
The hoses were set on the shelf with care,
with hopes an early manure season would soon be there.
When Times Get Tough, Don’t Stop Supplementing
By: Biozyme Inc.
Supplementation programs should continue to be important building blocks for cowherd nutrition programs even during belt-tightening times. It is during these lean times that getting the most ‘bang for your buck’ becomes even more critical when selecting which, how much and what supplements to feed.
The cow operations that continue using solid supplementation programs, regardless of the state of the cattle market, will be making management decisions that produce profits, said Twig Marston, Technical Sales Field Manager at BioZyme Inc., leaders in natural supplements for all species of livestock.
What to Consider for 2017
As the year winds to a close we would like to thank you for your business and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We hope that 2017 is a profitable year full of laughter and good health for your entire family.
December is typically the month when we seriously start to consider all aspects of next year’s operation. It is important to keep in mind what worked well for you this past year and maybe some things that need improvement. The question is how are you evaluating whether a certain product or practice was a success or not? Are you basing only on the average yield of the field?
