King City, Mo | The fertilizer cart goes across every acre every year....
When guys say we just fertilize the corn in a corn/soy rotation Its a red flag for me. Ask what they are applying and what there yields are........then look up the removal rates.
I'm applying 100# ams (N and S) to every acre I farm plus a blend of p,k,b,mn,Zn. (I've already addressed ca)
If your planting into corn stocks there is nutrients tied up in the residue. Feeing the soil microbes with ams will help balance the carbon:nitrogen ratio. If you work the corn stocks under you release the nutrients and don't have a crop growing to uptake them.
I'm not even half way to retirement age....family or I own the little bit of ground I'm farming....so I'm looking at things different then a guy renting land. | |

What fertilizer do you use in soybeans?
