Fertilizer question

[jazz]

All the expert articles seem to say broadcasting in the late fall means it just ends up in the atmosphere.

Going to test that one myself this yr.

That’s what I thought until seeing opposite last year
And 7’ of snow on top of it ?
Thought it would all end up in the cricks

Best friend of mine worked for Koch for years, who along with my fertilizer dealer told me fall application is safe.

So all these years you listened to those experts Jazz? Hmmmmm that's funny.

If ground is dry, I think the moisture soaks into the ground and takes the fertilizer with it. You float fertilizer on wet soil and then get a big winter snowpack.. I think you would see the grass taller/greener in the ditch where the water comes out of your field.

Every year is a little different it seems.

I won't be cutting any corners next year. Regardless of price.

Same.

Direct seed, feed that seed… only…precision placement at time of seeding… 30% with seed (starter) 70% in deep band using high soluble fertilizer 2” below seedrow like crystal green P2O5… K2O in band also… 21-0-0-24 for S.

1000 ways to fertilize a crop! The lower the risk, increased efficiency…the better.

Blessings and salutations

The juice openers in the fall help us get going in may in the swamp other wise we would seed in June lotsa years
Every area is different

That’s the way we used to seed when we were using sweeps but moved to direct seeding all in one pass. There is a lot of years I wish we had the fertilizer on in the fall to help dry out and warm the soil in the spring, so far I have resisted.

We mostly just do ground going to canola
The cereals are usually zero till , double shoot dry 3/4” away from seed with an atom jet opener, no sweeps here just 3/4” knives, usually around 280-300 lbs product
Opening ground in fall Gains us a week in the spring which turns into two in the fall
And last few years juice is way cheaper in the fall
This stuff $.87

Also NH3 does not add extra salt to the soil , and whatever filler is put in the other 54% of the 46-0-0
