Subject: RE: Nitrogen corn on corn


Martinsville, Ohio

Eddie, my thinking on N has been all wrong.

I did not address the other elements as I should have.  When someone at Jeff's farm to plate showed me how we overfeed N and underfeed everything else, really got my attention.  I went back into my logs and saw where if N is overfed, which is typical, everything else was underfed.

I tried applying those principles to my farm and I found the more I feed the other nutrients, the less I need N.  They all seem to come in harmony to me.

My best crops have been almost "underfed" in Nitrogen but by the old books, "overfed" in other nutrients.

My best corn and wheat has been around .6 lbs per bushel, it is an ever  flowing stream.

My soil seems to be stable at 25 PPM nitrogen.  How do we make that happen?

It's been a long row to hoe, my situation.

Nitrogen corn on corn is no easy situation to address, thus all the failures.
