    Lease Country Prices

    Come up to west central IL and try to find pastures to rent. If you can find them 20-50$/a for grass season will be the range. Now compare that crop ground at 250-500$/a. Bet you can guess how much grass is for rent.

    Grazon P+D

    Dun It is Dow's way of getting us to use Milestone a more expensive and in my opinion not as good of product. It is also a non-restricted use product.

    Just what we need: ANOTHER POLL

    As an CCA I have to disagree with you. Soil tests following millet will show that it pulls as much P and K as sudax or rye. This being said if you are not applying any P and K you are mining your soil. Also in my example I could more than likely leave out the P because of the amount that is in...

    Just what we need: ANOTHER POLL

    Ed Your example is flawed because you did not factor in K and P in your millet example. On pasture a 50 units of N is enough. Depending on soil test 40 units of P once a yr is enough. Also depending on soil test your K example of 120 units is also enough. So my thought is apply a 50-40-120 in...

    grasshopper liquid fertilizer

    I'm a custom applicator and we spray 10 - 50g/a all the time at speeds rangeing 10-17mph with no problems. It's all in selecting the right spray tip for the gallons and pressure desired. As for the foliar feed versus soil feed there is something to be said for both. If your soil fertility is not...

    grazing standing corn

    Somewhere along the line it seems to be forgotten that corn is a grass. If grazed as standing corn I wouldn't think it would matter to the grass-fed people.

    Hay vs. Silage

    Go ahead and feed it. Up until this year I have always fed corn silage with hay or haylage. This makes one of the best winter feeds for stock cows there is.

    Which soil test???

    #1 will tell you everything you need to know. If you are not comfortable reading and understanding the test take it to your local fert dealer or the ext office and they will explain it for you.

    spraying a road

    Sahara mixed with Hyvar is an excellent drive and parking lot spray. It will not migrate as much as Pramitol. As was said before make sure that you are not spraying under the drip lines of any trees you you don't want to kill.

    Out of Pasture

    These are my thoughts so take them for whatever you want. I would check out DDG's. If there are any ethenol plants in your area to see if they have some cheap prices. Also wean the calves and put them on grass hay and DDG's. Around here we have several ethanol plants so finding good prices is...

    Pelletized lime

    If the ag-lime has the same test as the pel-lime you will use the same amount. I know this because I spread and make reccomendations for fertilizer every day. Knowing what your local quarries lime test should be available from them or the extension office should have a list of all of the...
