Central Missouri | My experience has never shown that $118/an acre of k has been a good ROI.
My understanding on how soils work with potassium, is that your kids or tenant won't get the K either. That the soil will lock it up so no one will get it.
At $3.50 corn and $8.20 beans (or at $7 corn too) I would rather pay debt off, build a bin, tile a field or buy secondary forms of potassium that I could manage more effectively to get a better ROI on a lower cost per acre.
FYI: I grew 180 bushel corn this year on 55 ppm or 110 lbs per acre soil test values. Probably 30 bushels above the average of my county. And after the monsoon from May 8th until July 15tg, we had no rain after milk stage of the corn. So I was well satisfied with 180 bushel corn.
Not bragging. Just trying to understand your thought process from my point of view. | |
