NEMO | It is Missouri prairie, so yes it is tough ground. No fertilizer, 25-35 bushel yield. Fertilizer 40-60 on yield.
Don't need to do a side by side as I share cropped several years for a gentleman that didn't believe in fertilizer for beans so I cut more 30 bushel beans than I care to admit. When we took over one of his rental farms, we fertilized and the landlord thought that we made a mistake and didn't take our half of the crop the first year!
Another thing most probably won't believe, but it seems like half the time beans behind beans will out yield beans behind corn on a lot of our dirt. Prime example in 2014, have a 150 acre field split in half, beans behind corn made 50, beans behind beans made 70. Whole field averaged 60. Not the first time that I have witnessed that and one reason we run a lot of 1 year corn - 2 year bean rotation on most of our ground.
