Didnt wait ad to other thread. Someone mentioned Farmers arent using less even though the price goes up Just for those who want to figure it out. I have been organic for 11 years and 3 years ago I was so sick off wild millet I ended up planting my first crop of corn. Sprayed with round up once and fertilized $25 an acre. That is all the fertilizer my land has ever seen in 50 years. No manure and no summer fallow. First year and second year corn did 6 bales an acre cut with haybine and silage bales 5x5. Last year was 3rd year in a row for corn. I got it custom cut for silage and got 7.3 ton an acre. Remember this is only one time spraying no fertilizer. Neighbour is what I call convention farming and good crops and j think knower what he is doing. Crop was not as good as we had no rain. He got 11.4 ton an acre. He put on what most farmers do as far as fertilizer goes. I think he said 150-160 lbs of nitrogen. Plus what ever else they do. I Dont know prices A as Nd bushel an acre as j just make feed. But I had a guy pick some ears off mine and he said it would have gone 140-160 an acre.
I believe I make more with next to no fertilizer than some of these guys with fertilizer. J have weeds that go back in the ground mulch even with spraying but at least the corn gets ahead of it.
So is fertilizer really worth what people are putting on?? Are you loosing bottom line for big yields? Bragging rights? If you went half rate for 3 years would you be money ahead?

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
