University of Wisconsin agronomist Prof. C J Chapman says higher nitrogen use raises yields in small grains and boosts pasture and hay when soil minerals are built up with phosphate and potash and a legume- rich rotation.

Prof Emil Truog of the University of Wisconsin argues that raising soil mineral nutrients strengthens conservation. He cites six benefits including heavier plant growth, better water absorption, reduced runoff, higher yields, more efficient land use, and increased farmer income to fund terraces and grass waterways, aiding forests and wildlife.
