High populations, good fertility and a little luck from Mother Nature are the three key ingredients Heath Schake has found for contest-winning corn yields.
Is it time to begin to ‘rethink how we think’ about soil calcium, or do we just continue on with our old, conventional thinking that the soil has enough?
Should you consider double-cropping soybeans after wheat this year? If soil moisture is adequate and wheat harvest is timely, planting soybeans can be an option for adding profit.
