| I would for sure be figuring out how to band my fertility. A removal rate can be “tricked” into the plant thinking there’s higher fertlity than actually is. To the tune of around 30%. I advise my strip till customers I don’t care what your previous broadcast rate was, you can reduce it by 25% and see no reduction in yield. And prolly 30%. I was at a meeting in the dells around 10 years ago with a bunch of AgTalkers. A prominent Wisconsin long time agronomist made a statement I haven’t forgotten. “Those of you that band at least a removal rate of fertility, I see no reason to pull soil tests”. From a guy who’s income was largely dependent on soil tests. Appreciated his honesty. | |
