Fairfield, Mt | I concur with all three of you. In my neck of the woods (nc Montana), I have heavy, sometimes gravelly clay. Just as you say, most of my low yield areas are high in nitrogen levels due to the lack of production, and the P & K levels are short for the barley crop that I raise. The type of soil and thin topsoil add to the lower productivity.
Without soil sampling and yield monitering it would be hard to pinpoint the problems in order to correct them, possibly! We used to amend these areas with manure with varied results. But the cows are all gone now.
With todays site specific tools, one can easily quantify what is actually going on with the soil to some degree of satisfaction. Otherwise we did whatever because we just knew that it worked for dad in the past.
It is all personal preference and what you can talk yourself into believing, because mother nature has the keys to whatever ultimately happens. | |

Integrating grid sampling with yield data?
