Let's be real! You can’t manage manure effectively without knowing what it’s made of! 🌾💩 Manure can be a valuable asset to your crops, but only if you first understand its nutrient value! To get started, submit a sample of each manure source on your operation to analyze these five key factors: - Nitrogen - Phosphorous - Potassium - Sulfur - Dry matter With this information, you can match the manure's nutrients to your crop’s requirements and top up with extra fertilizer or compost as needed.

Let’s dive into the corn stalk nitrate analysis! 🌽🔬 What exactly is it, and why should it be on your fall to-do list? Corn thrives on nitrogen, but finding the right balance can be tricky. Strong yields and lush, green plants are great indicators, but they don’t tell you if you’ve overapplied nitrogen. That's where a corn stalk nitrate analysis can help. ✔️ By testing your cornstalks at the end of the growing season, this fall analysis gives you a clear picture of your nitrogen management performance. It helps you refine your strategy for next season, ensuring you get the most out of your fertilizer investment.
