Traditional Farmer; READ what I wrote. The organic mater is releasing Nitrites too. Not all of the nitrates come from applied nitrogen. We are split applying our nitrogen in the spring and early summer. We have ran tests and very little of our nitrogen is getting off target.
If you want to talk about fall applied Anhydrous then I will agree that too much of it is going off site. It is a poor way of applying nitrogen. To many BTOs think they can't get things done in the spring. So throw nitrogen and money away in the fall.
Trying to force 50 year old nitrogen levels will not work either. The corn we raise today requires a lot more fertilizer than they used years ago. It can be done responsibly, it just takes more work/planning. I also think fall cover crops and other practices help too.
The trouble is with fall tillage and manure application cover crops do not fit with those practices. We are seeing a 3-5% yield advantage with the fall deep tillage and manure application when compared to spring tillage and application.

We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
