"one year of NO added nutrients sans a bit of starter on corn will actually benefit you in future years. Well....economically anyway. To attempt to maintain high to very high is financial suicide these days."

That is what everyone said last fall, what if fertilizer prices double again in 2009?  I say business as usual as long as corn is $5+ and beans are $10+.  We are working on margin, and we just need to move more money/acre to play the same game.  Just a higher stake poker table.
