New ag retail strategy expands TerraNu’s availability.

Judging from the number of calls received this year, the decrease of soil pH and increase in acres affected by aluminum (Al) toxicity is increasing in North Dakota and the region.

One of the fertilizer recommendation philosophy is based on an ideal ratio of soil cations. Another is based simply on the levels of these cations available in soil.

By just mixing and analyzing your manure, the risk of over- or under-applying nitrogen goes down immensely.

In this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter Manufacturing Company, we welcome Neal Kinsey, a fertility expert and agronomist from Charleston, Missouri who will examine the findings from seven soil samples in various geographic regions, soil types and crop rotations.

Nick and Bryan Jorgensen discuss how much money per acre they’ve saved on fertilizer by relying on a diverse rotation, no-till practices, cover crops and livestock integration as they try as far as possible to imitate some of the processes on the Native Prairie.

Corn and soybean take up relatively large amounts of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), and much of this P and K ends up in the grain that is taken off the field during harvest. In order to keep soil nutrient levels from dropping over time, the amounts removed need to be replaced by applying fertilizer or manure. In order to know how much nutrient a crop removes, we need to know how much there is in a bushel of harvested grain.
