Northern Nebraska
I've found maybe bad farmer wasn't entirely crazy on some of the stuff he posted. Some. Testing for cobalt is expensive. The cobalt test from Midwest costs as much as the rest of the plant tissue analysis.

Cobalt like molybdenum is needed for proper nitrogen fixation in legumes. Microorganisms on the leaves of plants and in the guts and manure of plant eating animals make vitamin b12 out of the cobalt a plant has taken up. Does the plant feed the microbes for a certain purpose or does the plant use some of the b12? I've yet to figure that out.

I've yet to quantify anything.
