As we gear up for another election season this fall, we are looking forward to electing our new public officials. One office that is especially important in Iowa is the Secretary of Agriculture. This position is vital to leading our state, national, and even international agricultural policies. This year’s candidates include five Republicans; Ray Gaesser, Chad Ingels, Craig Lang, Mike Naig, Dan Zumbach, and one Democrat; Tim Gannon. With the Iowa Primary fast approaching on June 5th, we thought we’d highlight each of the candidates and encourage you to research their platforms. More

Fertilizing your crop is second nature but what about your yard? Did you know that a yard will typically use 1-4lbs of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet in a growing season? Or that one 50lb bag typically covers 5,000-10,000 square feet? Just like your crops, your yard needs nutrients to feed and nourish the grasses growing throughout them. Nitrogen adds growth and color while phosphorus is needed for adequate root growth. The last major nutrient you should be considering is potassium which aids in the overall health of your lawn. To help in your yard fertilizer selection process, we jotted down the best use for each of the products we carry. More

As I look back through old pictures and think of the past, I marvel at all the hard work and changes that have occurred in my lifetime, let alone, in 84 years. When Eldon started the company in 1934, one farmer supplied 9.8 people; today that number is 168. We have been blessed with advancements in technology, the development of more accurate and powerful machinery, and improvements to our facilities. Not to mention, all of our employees and customers that have made this journey possible. More

The more rare sighting is finding an agronomist who has dedicated their life to their work as long as Bill Langenberg has. Born and raised an Iowa farm boy, Bill has followed his love of the land.
