    Very solid field average, most growers would be quite happy with that. Tiger makes an approved S product 0-0-0-0-90. Litter will likely give you 20-30 lbs of S. Keep your litter application as tight to planting in your climate. We try to spread immediately before the last tillage pass, just north of you in MI.

      Do you feel like you have more weed pressure with spring applied litter? I have heard several guys say it promotes weed growth more than fall applied to cover crops.

      @@INOrganicFarmer Yes, the ammonia will spur weed growth. However all volatile N will be gone in 6-8 weeks from litter, and then it is just the organic N breaking down that will give you nitrogen. Any fields that are "new organic" are likely not to have a history of manure application and you will fight an uphill battle. The best thing is to stay the course, get some small grains in the rotation so you can get a good clover cover crop going ahead of corn in addition to the litter application.

    We had a field of Kingfisher that went over 200 last year 🙂. 160-170 is a good long term average 👌.

      Good to know! My yield goal every year is to be 80% of our conventional crops. Some years I get there and some years I don’t. You’ve been doing it a lot longer than I have, I appreciate your input!

      @@INOrganicFarmer It took me years to get here ;) For several years, 120 was a cap, then it went to 150, then 170. Now the new cap is 220!! Seriously though, I had issues with fertility management in the past. The additions of CC, variable rate manure application, and proper liming have made a big long term improvements.

    We had some really serious issues with our GH seed this year, heard that from a few different growers. Failure to thrive, bad seed quality. Keep an eye after planting if you stick with them for your seed next year.

      Thanks for the heads up! The majority of my seed is GH but I do have some Pioneer and BlueRiver for a good 10-15 acre plot of each. GH is just getting WAY to expensive anymore!

      That’s the truth. Crazy money, pushing into the traited seed prices recently.
