Welcome to our blog


Welcome to the first posting of Horizon Ag’s “Field Blog” for CLEARFIELD® rice. We’re very excited about using new communication methods to support our business. This is another mechanism we intend to incorporate for sharing current news and items of interest related to Horizon’s activities in the field, and it will also serve as a forum for those that follow to discuss current happenings. Look for many more postings in the near future as we gather information that we think could be useful to anyone interested in CLEARFIELD rice production.

Best of luck to all with the 2010 crop, and please let us know if there’s something we can be of help with as we move into the next stage of rice production. This looks to be a very promising crop so far, and we have plenty of new and exciting things going on at Horizon. New varieties, on farm testing, head-to-head comparisons with competitors, and fertility management are just a few of the things you’ll see here.

Be sure to check the Horizon website for our blogs and field day information throughout the summer and fall.
