I farmed for three years in SE Nebraska, '78-'80, when I first started. Since you've been growing milo, I assume you're a dryland farmer. 26-29K would be way to thick for dryland corn, 15-18K is probably a better recommendation, on the high side. 135 #'s of N, may, or may not be enough, depending on your yield goal, residual N, etc. If you band starter, or strip till fertilizer, you can get by with way less than 50 #'s of P, as a rule. K isn't even recommended in Nebraska as a rule, as most soils have sufficient K in them for agricultural purposes. There are simply to many variables to consider when you ask a question the way you did. Very few, if any, successful farmers today make their own plans without eliminating as many variables as possible. Inputs are way to expensive to make seat of the pants decisions. And most are going to be hesitant to make recommendations to anyone else, without more information. I once farmed a piece of ground where the previous farmers standard fertilizer program had been 200 #'s of N, and 50 #'s of P along with 30 #'s of Zn broadcast, year after year after year, no soil testing. I raised very good crops the first two years I farmed the ground, with no applied fertilizer, zilch, nada. Wait till the ground dries out enough to pull soil samples, set economically realistic yield goals, and go from there. Good luck!! :wink:
