LuAnn encouraged me to start this blog five years ago when I didn't even know what a blog was!<br /><br />It has become my invaluable daily inventory of what I am thinking, learning and sharing. You have added greatly to that, John, since we met a few years ago.<br /><br />You continue to show me the simplicity of raising profitable crops with lime and fertilizer. Band aids will always be band aids and a strong fertility program will never fail me. It sure didn't this year, the extra moisture kicked it into gear!<br /><br />Since I learned to love my dad and grandpa as a child, I always wanted to leave this earth a better place. With the great people God has sent me like you, I can see it in my later years of life.<br /><br />I encourage everyone to read these words written here throughout this winter and really ponder, what should I be doing on my farm?<br /><br />There are so many great points written here, I can't begin to talk about them but a good soil test followed by a tissue test and ACTION by the farmer with BASIC nutrients in good quantity is a great start.<br /><br />It is working for me.<br /><br />Ed WinkleEd Winklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299533401041542458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-26748717980488540602013-10-13T10:18:00.058-04:002013-10-13T10:18:00.058-04:00Will Farmers profit ? $'s be in the farmers
Po...Will Farmers profit ? $'s be in the farmers<br />Pocket this winter. <br />Many farmers harvesting and marketing their Corn crop this fall are wondering just that. <br />Yes, they have already wrote the check's<br />For their High tech, latest and best seed. As Ed continues to point out so well.<br />They may have writen the check to fit the planter with all the bells and whistles like their farm magazine artical claimed they had to so they can spend 20 to 60 $ an acre for the yield & profit robbing row and pop up programs they were told. They just had to have.<br />Some could never afford to tile or lime ?<br />Heck. Why fret. Just 2 or 3 apps of foliar will do fine for you.<br />Just buy it and write us the check.<br />Now those $ are gone elsware<br />Also.<br />Yes<br />This will be a long fall for many.<br />And many are asking the question. <br />What do I do for the 2014 season.<br />This is a wake up call. I and Ed will both assure you.<br /><br />for the rest of the story.<br /><br />And at the same time there are some in most every state reporting record yields and record profits for themselves.<br />Start with seed. How many $ acre does Eds method save ? Its a start.<br />My clients have -0- expense in starter attachments nor liquid handling equipment. Look around. Add it up ?<br />We also have no side dress expense. No insecticide or fungicide expens. <br />Thats all $ s still in the ( farmers )<br />Checking account.<br />Look back. Look Hard. <br />Where do you want your sales proceeds<br />In Your pocket ?<br />Or the dozens of sales guys dropping<br />By all year long.<br />Ask your spouse ?<br />Where she wants those hard<br />Earned $ in December<br />louAnn wants them in Eds<br />Farm account. I assure you.<br /><br />JohnSoil Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221798109480229346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-28657252019119875942013-10-12T11:42:36.154-04:002013-10-12T11:42:36.154-04:00Over the years I have found that even though all t...Over the years I have found that even though all the numbers line up on the soil analysis like many think they should.<br />The farmer has declining yields and the soils become less aerobic annually.<br />so more of everything is recommended<br />by most all the experts.<br />more row. More seed treatments. Add a few apps of Foliar just to be sure ?<br />more fungicide. Maybe three applications now ? More side dress.<br />more NH3. Just MORE<br /><br />From my observations. And from visiting with these farmers.<br />They were practicing an aggressive<br />Yield program utilizing liquid row.<br />Liquid planter fertilizer and nh3 and or liquid nitrogen fertilization.<br />Eventually, maybe not in your life time.<br />But eventually this will slowley catch up with you and you will realize that you have been on a high roller, High tech program to demise. <br />In my opinion.<br />Flush with yield robbing insects and plant diseases.<br />That bring costley and time consuming treatments.<br />Band aid treatments.Soil Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221798109480229346noreply@blogger.com
