Following questions are directed to Hefty kids, or their followers:

Why would one suggest to NOT broadcast fertilizer on "rented ground", but rather to strip fertilizer?

Why would one treat that rented (cash rent or crop share, doesn't matter) farm differently than what you own?

What would  you tell the landlord/farm mgr of that farm if he/she asks about your fertilizer intentions?

What would you tell landlord/farm mgr if they ask why you only strip rented ground, or why you don't broadcast their farm?

What if you end up renting the same ground for 20+ years, which is not unusual in NE IL (our personal longest is 50+ years)? Of course you didn't know it was going to be 20+ years until the calendar suddenly says 2019.

What if the lease stipulates you will put an annual minimum of XXX lbs of potash, for example. Do strippers get to say, "well, that's OK but we will only be applying "1/2 of XXX" because ours is in strip.

If one puts only 1/2 the recommended rate of fertilizer and then grows 200 bu fertilizer for 5 years in a row, should the P & K readings be the same as when starting at the beginning of the 5 years?

Does anyone else here not find their corn/bean roots growing beyond the 2-4" band?

I'm  skeptical of this "only 1/2 the fertilizer needed in strips" philosophy.
