[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1538370, member: 1715"] I have some paddocks that are now 250 to 400 ppm for K from bale grazing, with most on the lower end. They were mostly 70 to 100 ppm when I bought the place. My seed guy said you can not get it "too high" - - but I notice large hollow stems in the high K paddocks, and I notice grass has a harder time competing with legumes. My custom guy is puzzled why his straw chopper does not work better? P levels did not rise as fast. They are running 25 to 100 ppm, with most on the lower end. They were mostly 9 to 18 ppm when I bought the place. Some here have started using (previously the tree huggers burned it against a "renewable" energy quota) a lot of high P turkey litter on corn ground. Seems to be working well so far, but I do not see how this can continue for a long time. Rumor has it that grass grows well in 100+ ppm P but I have not gone there. I assume dairies can get away with a lot if they blend in a TMR? If I had very high P beef fodder, I would consider selling some and then buying back, to blend and to get some P off the place. The hay I bought this year tested 0.18% P. [/QUOTE]
