It’s time to sidedress and before you get the sprayer out, make sure you have a clear picture of how much N is in your fields. With 360 SOILSCAN, you can determine how much N you have so you can make N application decisions that are more accurate and based on real-time, in-field information. As…
Knowing how much nitrogen is in your soil can help you make more accurate decisions for nitrogen application. But, the accuracy of those results is important. One large driver of soil nitrate testing accuracy is the quality of the soil sample and the handling of that sample through testing. Soil nitrates are highly dependent on…
Farmers today are experiencing more 4 in. rainfall events during the growing season than ever before. In fact, there has been a 50% increase in heavy rainfall events in the last half century. Throughout the last few days, many areas of the U.S. have experienced large rainfall events (up to 3 to 4 in.) and…
We all strive for higher yields. Year after year, farmers explore new hybrids, new fungicides, new equipment, and so on in the search of more yield and more profit. But, how do you evaluate those variables and make a decision on what to implement on your farm? Company and university trials often are abundant but…
Efficient nitrogen management is critical, both for yields and for your bottom line. As we monitor input costs – and regulations – we must know, not guess, how much nitrogen is in our fields. 360 SOILSCAN is a portable soil lab system that provides you with zone-specific soil nitrate analysis in about five minutes, allowing…
It’ spring. Time to get the equipment out and start planting. But, before you get too far down the road – do you know how much nitrogen is in your field? Matt Foes, regional agronomy manager for 360 Yield Center, shares an update on nitrogen trials on his farm in northern Illinois. Foes tests the…
As snow melts and temperatures rise, we start focusing on getting into the field. When it comes to your 2015 nitrogen (N) plan, we should begin with the end in mind – minimizing plant stress by managing nutrients as best as possible. We want to ensure we’re feeding the crop the right amount of N…
How much nitrogen does it take to produce 200 bushels of corn per acre? That’s a very common question with multiple answers. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to nitrogen management. And not every corn crop needs the same amount of N to produce 200 plus bushels per acre. The reality is that an effective nitrogen…
