West Kentucky
Fertilize by what you actually removed in previous crop instead of fertilizing for what you hope to make in the next, but fertility is not an exact science so the best you can is close enough. As far as the mining question, if you are not replacing what you are removing then you would be considered to be mining your soils. University of Kentucky did a study several years back where the purposely mined the soil until it started causing yield issues....according to one of the professors, they still haven't gotten it back to where it yields near normal.
