now I truly have heard it all. this farmer used 4oz of non-medicated milk replacer through fertigation. I just might try some in my liquid starter. :-)

Two hour combine ride this morning w/grower who only had 30-ish lbs of commercial Nitrogen on this field(as starter) w/molasses & milk replacer via fertigation thru the season.
3 years corn on corn
105 day hybrid
Rough math using combine grain tank & row length things should be super close to 200 bushel/acre yield.
Brings his PROFIT per acre up to around $140.
He’s tickled pink.
With education, management & more education this way of growing a monoculture crop is ABSOLUTELY possible.
We brainstormed what next year’s starter is going to be…& it won’t be a commercial fert.

these experts never get the memo of the 20 ton of feedlot manure/acre or 5,000 gals of hog manure that was applied the winter before while they were hanging out on zoom meetings in their home office, they just talk with their twitter fingers and pat themselves on the back for the few ounces of pixie dust someone told them to have the grower throw in the sprayer and claim that was all the nutrition the plants needed. Look for the ones who put their head down, get to work and don't have a twitter account.
