Soil Health
Are you trying to dial in fertilizer costs? Prioritize soil testing, and check out a new dashboard that tracks fertilizer production, imports, prices and transportation factors.
Farmers are innovators who adapt to their settings and circumstances. We’ll change the world for the better if we can enjoy access to the best ideas and technology.
Avoid applying anhydrous ammonia prematurely and losing its availability for next year’s corn crop. Good application decisions can save you a lot of money, time and effort.
Take a controlled, calibrated approach to the process, advises Ken Ferrie. That will help you build a framework for high yields next season and protect soil nutrient levels in the process.
As you begin to rein in production costs, big ticket items such as fertilizer naturally get a lot of scrutiny. Now’s the time to think through how you’ll best allocate available dollars for nutrients.

Salford Group is introducing the AB640 90-foot air boom applicator - which holds the potential to cover 22% more ground than traditional 70-foot applicators.
Farmers are reclaiming much of the land that we nearly lost and we’re protecting it through innovation – making the land produce more but with the guarantee that the land continues to be productive for future generations.
“By evaluating the health of soil, we can get an idea of what’s good; what’s bad; learn where to start making improvements; and set benchmarks to measure progress,” explains Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie.
