Jacobsen’s Quick Reference Guide
Farming is a delicate balance of many different disciplines. Farmers are sometime biologists, chemists, climatologists, or mathematicians while getting a crop from seed to harvest. It can be tough to remember all of the different equations and charts for multiple crops. To help our customers manage this, we developed the Jacobsen Quick Reference Guide. This 4 page document includes important dates, equations, and conversions for Corn, Soybeans, Alfalfa, and general knowledge.
