OUR SOLUTION TO RISING FERTILIZER COSTS

WONDERING WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE RISING COST OF FERTILIZER?
WE’VE GOT A SOLUTION.👇

From Richard’s desk:

While the environmental problems associated with the use of nitrogen fertilizer have been recognized for a long time, the economic value of nitrogen fertilizer has never been questioned. However, over the past few months there has been a huge increase in the cost of nitrogen fertilizer and even the availability of nitrogen fertilizer for next year’s crops is in question. There is a critical need to reevaluate our nitrogen management methods.

For various reasons including the inability of soils to store crop available nitrogen, the difficulty in predicting the contribution of crop available nitrogen from organic sources and the difficulty of obtaining timely, high-resolution, and accurate data makes precise nitrogen management difficult.

For several years, we’ve been working with UNL to validate a new method of scheduling nitrogen. This method, designed to work with fertigation, uses high-resolution imagery to collect data and then analyzes the data in real time. This solves the issues discussed above.

In tests using this method on our farm in 2021, our highest yielding corn also had the lowest rate of applied nitrogen. We plan on using this method on all our acres next year.

We are working with Sentinel Fertigation to make this technology available to farmers for the 2022 crop year.
