Soil sampling is the foundation of every fertility recommendation you make. Whether you are evaluating pH, phosphorus, potassium, or other nutrients, your management decisions are only as reliable as the data collected from the field.…
After weeks of heavy rainfall across much of the Corn Belt, many growers are facing the same challenge: everything seems to need attention at once. Weeds are getting ahead. Nitrogen applications remain unfinished in some…
When you buy farmland, you’re not just buying acres and yield potential — you’re also buying the residual fertility already in the soil. And for many growers, that piece of the investment gets overlooked. Residual…
Growers considering corn-on-corn acres in 2026 face unique agronomic and economic challenges. This article explores the key considerations—residue, nutrient management, and market outlook—to help make informed decisions for next season. Editor’s Note: Recently, Advanced Agrilytics…
Editor’s Note: Recently, Advanced Agrilytics hosted a webinar on Maximizing Nutrient Efficiency Amid Rising Input Costs. This blog article is the second in a series drawn from that discussion, and it focuses specifically on how growers can make…
Editor’s Note: The “Maximizing Fertilizer Efficiency Amid Rising Input Costs” series is derived from a recent webinar hosted by Advanced Agrilytics, which addresses how growers can achieve greater fertilizer efficiency in our tough farm economy.…
For decades, soil sampling has been considered one of the foundational practices in crop management. But for just as long, many growers have felt frustrated or even skeptical about its value. Maybe you’ve thought: “I…
As summer slides into August, it’s time to look back and celebrate the amazing work produced by our 2025 Intern Class. Our 25 interns joined us in May, and since then they have been hard…
Every year, 2.5 percent of America’s farmland (including land used to produce crops and timber, plus pasture) changes hands through sale or inheritance — translating to roughly 20-22 million acres annually*. For growers navigating those…
Efficient nitrogen management is critical for maximizing crop yields while minimizing nutrient waste and environmental impact. Old fashioned, “cookie cutter” application approaches inevitably lead to over-application in some areas and under-application in others. A successful…
