N FLA | Po, you reminded me of when i did my MS at Mizzou, one of the farmers I did the research at near Millersburg would consistently wait to plant his corn until the end of May, because he could more reliably get a stand and have fertilizer available to the crop instead of being lost to denitrification in March and April. He learned over 50 or more years of farming that land, how to most reliably grow a crop, although he was probably not topping the yield charts, he was probably living off what he earned year in and out. I think alot of people think that if the weather doesnt cooperate with their practices that it is extreme. Im not talking about the flooding, etc, but I dont think wet springs or summers or falls are anything extreme in most of these areas, we just seem to focus on max yield and farm for max yield whether thats the "optimum" time to do something or what works the highest % of the time. | |
