180 bu corn would be 198 units of N. (1.1 unit/bu). It still takes lbs to make bushels. Some varieties respond to N more than others. Check with your seed guy. And I think 50 units for 50 bu beans is a bit optomistic.
Also, are you stabilizing any of your early N? The ammount of loss will be weather dependant otherwise.
