[QUOTE="BFE, post: 1716787, member: 28532"] That also depends to some degree on soil type. Poorer soils around here don't build K like they should. Good bottom ground always tests high on P&K. In theory, the hills should be higher, same amount applied over the years, less crop taken off than bottoms, but it doesn't work that way. That leads us to organic matter, the real game changer. Just like Clinch was saying about the garden, that's the real value of the hay. I feed hay in rings on the worst part of my corn stalk fields, and I can tell the difference the following year to the bean crop. Unrolling will be better to spread nutrients, but feeding rings is more sudden for really poor spots. I do have to disc the ring spots which I don't like, I like no till for numerous reasons. Same principles are applied to feeding on pasture. [/QUOTE]
