In 25 we had the best crops since doing organic cleanest fields .. plow down clover put back Mycrizzie and 500 lbs of chicken pellets , along with some cow manure on some fields probably get 1500 to 1800 dollars acre , an the corn . we always use clover seeding ahead of corn archie haven't put any phosphate for over a decade and in no hurry to have to It gives up what the crop call for in the way the whole thing work.
