Ag PHD app

How many here use it ?
This is just an example from higher producing areas in Western Canada..


We don’t shoot for this , some do in area but only on select fields .
Regardless is kinda a handy app .

Yes, went to their field day, watch their Sunday YouTube videos. They have a few decent apps. Definitely worth checking out

No sense aiming for what you can't achieve.

Might get lucky every once in a while but using macros on that level here would ensure waste and possible bankruptcy over the long haul.

People might forget there is always some release from nutrient cycling.

Zero soil moisture. Will put down enough at seeding for about 30 I'm thinking
Who counts straw nutrient uptake if you don't remove the straw?

True , we usually aim for about 80% of our target then try to add during season if conditions allow.
Shooting too high in any area is a recipe for bankruptcy for any farm . Here that might happen 1 in 10 years . Frost , snow , prolonged dry spells and hail fill that gap 70% of the time and 20% is just “shitte” that happens .. ie weed control issues or crop disease (Root rot , sclerotina, fusarium and others) that sometimes can’t be controlled due to weather or other factors .
Some areas are blessed with 3or4 out of 10 years for near ideal conditions. But that’s not here in our pocket . Some pockets not far away (10 miles) are more consistent at the high end .
Agree on the nutrient cycling , it gets ignored by most fertilizer retailers .

It works good. Get soil test numbers + organic material break down +fertilizer applied gets close to what app figured out

"Hey buddy can you drop 80 acres of straw for me? Be a pal..." Free of course.

We don't use that app yet. Currently use their Ag PhD Drainage App for prepping for tile installation. I really enjoy their radio show when I can get it and watch their Youtubes.

Total uptake. Need both grain and straw portion.

Scary next spring if it doesn't rain lots in April.
