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 - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
