North Central Ohio, across the Corn belt ! | Jay in WA - 11/1/2009 21:38
Our sandy soils won't hold 100 lbs of N. Most of it will be gone by spring. I have tried 50 lbs in the fall before. Not sure it actually helped any. I will be spreading compost as soon as I can get to it.
quote from jay !!
( Now if I could just figure out how you guys grow corn on corn with so little tillage. The down side to high yielding crops is that it's gonna take a lot of passes with the disk to make a seedbed for next year. )))
I am trying to show you How jay !!! this is how We and others do it ! even on sugar sand soil
Could be Jay, but the soil does not have to hold it for next spring. that much N will be required to digest, feed the Microbes that digest that much tonnage of carbon material !!! On Corn after Corn a third of the N Never goes to the next corn crop and this is why so many can not achieve BIG Yields on corn following Corn because of Nitrogen cannibalization
