I've been using sulfur the last couple of years on corn. I can't say it is totally needed, but the soil tests show it's a bit lacking. So I think it helps.
My Zinc tests are looking pretty good, I think this year they might sprinkle a bit in, but only a bit, couple tests in the grid were a little low.
I don't think soybeans are as responsive or needy to micros, so I'd work with the corn first?
I'm not real fond of foliar applications of nutrients. In my mind seems they olny just perk up the plant to look pretty for a week or 2, but sure don't add enough to corn or beans to be worthwhile to add any more yield. Perhaps it's just my stubborn cheap German nature, but think a person really has to get to the top of their game, be pulling 220bu corn regularly, before messing with foliar feedings - if you are getting average yields, the money can be spent on tile, basic fertility, better planter, before bothering with the foliar applications. Just my opinion tho, haven't ever tested that opinion....

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
