How much extra N to add following large cereal crop?

You lost me at 110 bpa barley…..

Also known as a crop failure to some of my neighbors.

[SASKFARMER]

that’s what we shoot for on wheat

[TASFarms]

Why not a pulse crop.

I read Phil Needham's book on growing high yielding wheat and I think he says if you are growing wheat on wheat straw to bump up N by 20 ib. to make up for the N that gets tied up in the straw.

Around here, a rank Canola crop grows more tons of straw than a rank wheat or barley crop.

But the stalks are also much more resilient to breakdown compared to the cereal straw. Still find solid canola stems years later, so maybe this isn't relevant?

I'm finding I get better wheat yields with wheat on wheat, than wheat on canola, all things being equal.

But this area is unique, nothing works according to the textbooks.

Talk to a fertilizer company agronomist and do half what she tells you.

Preferably not the one trying to stuff 100 tonne into a single axle.
