The nitrogen won't evaporate, it may leach through the soil though. I have been no-till farming my whole life so far and have had great results. I would suggest spreading your dry fertilizer on when the ground is froze, we usually do it when there is snow on the ground. When the snow melts it carries the nutrients into the ground with it. I have never had much luck with using starter fertilizer, we try it once in a while just to see, usually only a bushel or 2 better, not worth it to me. When the corn is about 8-10" tall side dress the rest of your nitrogen on. If the local fert dealer doesn't have a 28% side dress bar small enough for you, build your own, they are not hard to make the hardest part is calibrating them. Then put some on later with a with post emergence herbicide application and that should do the trick for you.
