Latimer, Iowa (north central) | Without knowledge of specific situations it’s hard to say. Many of the MMP writing services have never done it. Involves more shuffling of paperwork. We never apply more than what the DNR chooses to call crop removal ratings and our P-index’s are between .4-.7 so very low. A P based plan and a N based plan would be different. If you write your own, would talk to the extension office (Kapil Aurau (sp?)) or our DNR has been very helpful. After they realize it’s not excess nutrients, just two different forms of nutrients it makes sense for them. Cattle and swine are the hardest to combine. Chicken litter, for whatever reason, is regulated more like commercial fertilizers so easier to apply in tandem. |
good weather, spreading biologicals and feeding soil
