I can imagine his soul tests were high with all them hugs!

We also have to buy corn in addition to what we raise, but we still rotate in alfalfa to help bring down our phos levels.  the n-p-k ratios of manure don't match up with typical corn removal rates and we end up getting really high phos numbers.  We also have some farms where alfalfa generates a higher (or less negative...) economic benefit than corn does.
