Southeast WI | My county agent is going to run statistics on the trials to see what is a significant difference - numerically we see those diffs, but stats can tell us if they are real. The moisture thing was consistent in both trials, so to me it "means something", but how it affects yield???? I will re-post the other trial, but having 220-250+ lbs of N out there I have a hard time thinking N was a problem - especially when the yield trends match up perfectly to the lower/standard N rate. And this year, the later a corn was in pollinating the better the yield. I had to throw a starter trial plot out because the "best" soil areas pollinated about a week earlier than the "sandy" areas and the best areas had terrible or no pollination. In this case, on a 5 acre plot, the best soil areas ran 70-90 bpa and the normally "bad" areas were 130-140 bpa. Just a strange year tied to moisture availability and that's why I keep coming back to water. | |

Cover crop yield data. OOPS, what happened? Part II.
