With the weather extremes we have had - especially rainfall, I am concerned about nitrogen loss. During June of 2010 I received 17 inches. During June of 2011 I received 16 inches. This would be south of Iowa City. Needless to say I lost a lot of bushels. Any nitrogen applied under those circumstances is subject to loss. I can side dress with 28 or 32 percent at the end of May, but I have so many contours and point rows I hate driving over corn. N - serve slows soil organisms down around the band of anhydrous. When the soil gets saturated and lacks oxygen for the soil organisms they (organisms) attack the oxygen molecule on the nitrate or nitrite molecule. So, if I can keep the ammonia band from being attacked I should be able to carry the nitrogen later into the growing season and especially to a point where the weather might calm down. I did use N - serve last year. Costs around $10 an acre. I guess I looked at it as an insurance policy that nitrogen would be there. My soils are heavy - fine textured, no sand. Probably could use more tile. Dow the maker of N - serve says there is a benefit when used during the spring. Can't remember maybe 7 bushels??? I have a couple guys saying forget it - fall use only. Do you guys have any experience or opinions?? Thanks.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
