| It was my best crop I had ever raised at the time! LOL
It was better than what the previous farmer had been raising but they had concentrated on not spending any money. Not raising a big crop.
A lot of guys didn't believe in fertilizer yet. Those that did didn't maximize yields. They maximized return to the fertilizer. So if they could grow 150 bu. corn with 150 lbs of N or grow 100 bushel with 50 pounds, they put on 50 pounds.
I have to give the previous farmer credit. He showed me the value of fertilizer.
When I rented the ground he kept showing me the high yield areas. I quickly realized they were the spots he overlapped on fertilizer. | |
