Subject: RE: Can we agree on a definition of mining the soil?


I agree with what you are saying and I'm not trying to start an argument. But the popular belief now is if you overapply fertilizer by 1 pound you are wasting money and destroying the environment. So if you apply fertilizer based on a certain yield goal and somehow it overproduces that yield goal it is "mining"? And certainly utilization rates change based on environmental factors. And application timing has an impact on what will actually be available to the crop, depending on the crop and the soil. What we really know about soil is so little.
