Year-End Analysis of Growing Season Accounts for Impacting Variables in 2021
Changing weather conditions and plant disease challenges were just a small part of the impacts felt by many Midwestern corn and soybean growers throughout the 2021 growing season.
’22 Perfect Time to Raise Bar in Nitrogen Management
As input prices skyrocket across the Corn belt, farmers have reached the difficult balancing-act of managing against variability in their fields and ensuring their input investments are put to good use.
Five Things to Consider about Nutrient Loss Management In-Season
Nitrogen management is a complex program and varies across each acre on the farm, according to Travis Kimmel, a Lead Agronomist with Advanced Agrilytics in Ohio. He says growers should be considering all of the variables that drive decision-making this time of year, when considering how to manage nutrient loss within their fields. “I can’t […]
Nutrient Loss Management Starts with Understanding a Field’s Influential Variables
Supplementing nitrogen to foster corn development is a primary focus of many farmers this time of year, but knowing where to apply the nutrient and how much is actually necessary can be key to unlocking the best performance.
In-season Nitrogen: Are Your Plans Ready?
Now that everyone has at least partially recovered from that late April snow fall, it’s time to get back on track for the 2021 growing season. What’s next? According to Advanced Agrilytics lead agronomist, Kent Klingbeil, it’s time to consider in-season nitrogen applications in corn. “At a minimum, you should have your side-dress prescriptions ready […]
Knowing the Difference Between Concentration and Availability in Soil Fertility
Soil fertility can be a tricky subject for non-soil scientists. It’s important for farmers to know what a soil sample is and what it isn’t. Soil samples, in a basic sense, provide farmers with concentration located in a specific area of the field. Agronomists worth their weight will help translate that information into available nutrients and assist farmers in […]
Five Things to Consider When Soil Sampling
Do it. Simple, right? Soil sampling gives you a snapshot in time for the environments within your field. Soil sampling allows you to know where you should be going in soil management. If you’re not doing it already, start. More than P,N,K. Yes, the P,N, K is an important tool in your management system. But, Organic matter is important, too – it’s more than a […]
Challenging Conventional Thinking in Soil Fertility
Soil may not be the most exciting topic in production agriculture, but it is often the most critical. Knowing the environments within fields and managing to those environments can make or break a farm’s productivity.
