Nitrogen Problems: Are you Using More Nitrogen Than You Need?

You’re probably applying too much nitrogen. It’s not your fault, you -- along with most of America’s farmers — have been conditioned to do so. More “N” means more corn, so crank up the “N!” This over- application of Nitrogen is about to come to a halt as nutrient management plans are likely part of future farm legislation. With that in mind, why not cut the curve and start reducing your nitrogen spend now? In this episode Temple Rhodes shares practices he’s employed to reduce “N.” Temple shares results from his three year trial using Source from SoundAg that’s allowed him to reduce nitrogen application while enhancing (rather than degrading) his soil biology.
