West Fargo, ND | Yes, some of our ground we are going at aggressively. Some of my growers are pushing 93 day maturities on some of their corn and we have gotten 190+ averages on some fields. Most guys are going for 150-160.
I have never used Base Saturation or ratios or anything like that either, but was hoping maybe a certain somebody (soil-life) would chime in to tell me how to fix these ratios if that would make a difference. I have guys that would do trials, but what
do you do? Its damn near impossible to build on these soils, do we just put crop removal on. Is that enough? If we put more than crop removal on are we just losing it to fixation? When you figure it takes like 10 lbs of K to bring it up one ppm that is a hell of a lot of potash. Same with P. I have fields from 2 ppm to 15. Most in the 3-8 range. When it takes 20 lbs of P to bring it up one ppm (guesstimate) that is a boatload of P.
I was real curious to hear what soil-life would say about our type of ground, but I guess he would rather stick with that easy stuff down south you can actually fix. Maybe that will get him to comment. | |
