Work with a local, independent, trusted source for fertility advice. Don't come here. Somebody in SD or NE is in a totally different environment than you. One poster likes K at 300 ppm. As an example - we have soils here that optimum is 80 ppm K (bray P1) since the soils literally can't hold a lot of K and anything over is a waste trying to build much higher with commercial fertilizer. That's one example here. So get local advice on your soils and fertility. Guys love saying their area is so unique and special but will try to advise somebody on fertility all the time. I don't get it. Good luck!
Very good advice. And I am with you, what I have going on is different even from one county north of us. I've been trying to find someone local to work with the past 4 years. Had a guy I was working with, seemed to have a good relationship with, and he just completely disappeared. Have had some recommendations put together on other fields, but they were just not economic to implement, and that was at $7 corn.
When I was in graduate school, there was a huge disconnect between professors and the real world. A lot of things that a professor wanted to do for a research project would never work in the real world. This is what I'm running in to with this. I need someone that know soil fertility, and can put a pencil to paper and say this is how you can make money and improve your farm at the same time.
And a lot of the guys in our area don't want to share their secrets. | |
