Any of the systems, organic, conventional, non-gmo.... its all the same game. Those that pay attention to details will do better.
Now a days soil testing is old news. The real detail guys and gals are also doing tissue testing of the plants through the year, so thry can see what is both in the soil and what the plant is using every week. Sometimes there appears to be enough nutrients in the soil, but for some reason the plants arent getting them. Typically you learn a little, but you learn and can do better the next year from what you learn this time through.....
Also many are turning to spoon feeding, nitrogen anyhow, and spreading the N 2-3 times a year as the crop needs it. If you see a really good crop you can add more; if a drought or flood or whatever is stressing the crop to poor, you can cut back on the N you apply.
Its not the 1970s any more.
Which is funny coming from me, as most of my equipment I farm with was built in the 1980s.... ha.
P and K you can sprinkle on and it mostly stays there, if you dont use it this year it will help your crop next year or the year after. So its good.
Nitrogen is the one that likes to get away from you, for the grass crops like corn and wheat and such, that you really need to match up what you are applying to what the crop will use in a few months.
Good conversation, there are different views and they all add to the knowledge base.
