Do you want the simplest or the best. Depending on how many acres you farm, are you willing to invest $1.00/ac or less to do the best job you can? The most important piece of zone management to quality zones. Surgo soil maps will miss many details as they do not take topography into account. Typically saline seeps and eroded hills should be managed differently as they are both poor production, but for different reasons. Being in wheat country, nitrogen is your most expensive input, but chloride is also important. Have you ever soil sampled for either? Feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss some options.
Interesting! Yes, I’ve done a fair bit of soil sampling. Have seen mighty limited response to chloride over the years, sometimes we get another bushel from it, but often not. |
