*What are you trialing on your farm this year?

Question

What are some of the agronomic practices you are going to 'trial' on your own farm this year? Maybe trying different planting dates? Or, different seed traits on the same plot of land? Perhaps your experimenting with different fertilization rates?

Answer

I'm having the coop do a 50/50 spray on the corn, rather than putting it all on before planting. I hope it will cut down the button weeds.

Answer

Possibly switching some fields to an organic wheat system

Answer

Trying some different seeding rates on soybeans. Hopefully save a few bucks per acre with no yield loss or weed pressure.

Answer

We are trying Pivot Bio on some acres this year. We will see if it can replace 40 pounds of nitrogen as they advertise.
