It all boils down to soil types, weather/rainfall, organic matter and yield potential targets. I can understand wanting to cut rates and save money, but most for example would target 200bu/ac and put enough N on for that 200bu/ac(just using hypothetical #'s). What happens if a few other things go right, such as rainfall or other things getting timed right and then you yield potential jumps to 225bu/ac and you only fertlized for 200/ac??? At what point are you cutting costs and at what point are you limiting your yield potential? Anyone have any thoughts about that end of the spectrum?
