western NY | drive through them and put down about 60 actual lbs of N and hope for a rain. We had the same trouble last year on several fields that had never had soys before. You could see rite to the row where beans had been in the past. After we had the N spread they greened rite up and made 45-50 bu where the ones on old been ground made 50-60 bu.
as a side note I have never had soys on most of the farm I own, always raised dry beans. This year we have about 150 acres that was either peas or prevent plant dry beans. We are sowing 250lbs of soys as a cover crop now and hope they get big enough to nodulate before we kill them off to notill wheat the end of September. | |
