ecmn | I have 6500$ into my strip till rig, for a few hundred dollars I could have it running variable rate. just need to get more grid sampling done.
the university's have 20 years of history showing how banded fertility is more efficient.
I will let you know how its going the next time I soil test.
with a broadcaster you spread 100 lbs to the acre, but each row has a 10" root zone, so there is 10" between 2 rows on every acre that is getting fertilized but nothing is growing there.
with a band you put 50 lbs under the plant right in the rot zone.
on 3 dollar corn if I can cut big money from my fertilizer budget and still get the same yields how do I not do it.
better get used to banding fertility now. wont be long and the gov. will ban the use of broadcasters.
