When no-tillers are looking to boost crop yields, it’s tempting to search for the “latest and greatest” product to find the solution. But sometimes farming from a job isn’t the answer. There could be some elusive reasons yields aren’t hitting expectations.
Many benefits of a cover crop being integrated into a crop rotation are long term and multi-year. The longer the system is in place, the more resilient the soil and the more benefits are realized.
Farmers can't predict their annual corn harvest with certainty, but with the help of new research from Michigan State University, they can now pinpoint specific parts of their fields that consistently produce either good or bad yields, allowing for smarter fertilizer application.
When it's harvest time, we often get caught up in a flurry of activity. But it's worth the time for no-tillers - especially after the wet planting season last spring — to see what you can learn by scouting your fields during harvest.
Because recent soil test trends and research studies indicate soils in parts of North America may be lacking sufficient potassium (K), growers and their fertilizer dealers will want to pay particular attention to this key nutrient, Mosaic says.
Jeff Housman, Mycogen Seeds customer agronomist, advises growers to consider all factors before deciding to replant to determine whether the yield advantage of a replanted field will offset the added cost and the lower yield potential of the first planting.
