Lower Indiana Hill Country | I use a Brookside Labs agronomist to do my soil testing. brookside also can do the Haney methods of soil analysis. My soil is about 1/2 creek bottoms that test high levels P , medium low K, and the rest is sloping from the high hills towards the bottoms and is low to medium in P & K. this year the slopes did as good as the bottoms at lower populations (27K @ 220bpa vs 33k @ 200 bpa). I had about 4" of timely rain each month from April to August and it was not excessive anytime.
I want to use the Haney method on some slope ground and the bottom ground to try and better understand why the results from this year happened. Some of my best crops have been on ground that was in grass/pasture/hay for several years and has only been notilled for about 5 years. |
