“I’m so pissed I booked urea and now it’s $200/ton lower vs last fall”
Did you sell grain then at $6/bu for this fall?
“No, it was supposed to go higher”
$6 - $5.20 = $.80/bu * 200 bushels = $160/ac
$200/ton @ 390lbs/ac = $39/ac
You are worried about the wrong thing…

Watching someone pour foliar fertilizer, fungicides, PGR's, and anything they can find to fix yields on a field to no avail...and then getting the soil tests from their retailer and seeing pH's in the high 4's and low 5's is maddening. "Lime is expensive"

Lots of questions on AgTalk about combining 30% corn and storing it until you can dry it, going to be a lot of hard lessons learned. At that moisture you are best to leave it in field and only combine what you can dry in a day. It sucks, but that's the truth ruth

I've had more than a few farmers tell me recently they are on the brink of quitting, not going bankrupt, just quitting. A few remind me almost daily as we deal with replant, and other issues. In the country I am very positive, but inside it's weighing on me every time I hear

Our worst corn in 2018 planting dates were May 8-9, our best May 18-19. If you looked at field conditions at planting it would echo that. It’s May 5, and there is rain predicted for the week but it doesn’t mean getting corn it at all costs will pay better.

The amount of "what can I spray on my soybeans for x weed" questions is crazy at this time of year. 1)Most chems have 45-60 PHI restrictions so almost October 2)Most chems are waaaay off label at this time and could cause yield loss. There's only one way...

Had a retail salesman tell a client that his 4 gallons of 6-24-6 was sufficient P for his 220bu corn and 70bu soybeans. For those of you playing at home that’s a removal of 137lbs P2O5 or 298lbs of DAP, he’s applying 10lbs of P2O5 in his starter every other year.

I almost died because my pain was met with “if it’s that bad I’ll take you to the hospital” and it was more a threat than a recommendation. Four days of work, school, and chores with appendicitis and I drove myself in, emergency surgery, week in hospital, and huge scar.

You know those memes where “math is hard”, well it’s harder when you get emotional…
“What would you rather have 220 bushels of 18% corn or 240 of 24%?”
Me-I’d take the 240 (without hesitation or math)

Ok, let’s math it 20 more bushels

Lots of questions lately about the "need" for micros and even macros to show up in tissue samples. Often, soil levels are above adequate and micro applications are above what's needed. What's wrong? pH is off affecting nutrient availability. Make sure you chase the right thing

We learned a lot of lessons in 2012, one was that trying to plant on dates we normally wouldn’t meant our corn pollinated in the height of a drought. Another, don’t work ground more than 24 hours ahead of planter or germination will suffer.

I literally cringe looking at soil samples on ground that’s yielding 220 bu/ac with single digit P and sub 80ppm K. Why? Because we’re mining and confirming to the grower that it’s “ok” to continue fertilizing like we are getting 150 bu/ac corn. How long can we continue this?
