Fertilizer Use Boosts Montana Cropping Yields
Treasure State Farm and Livestock urges fertilizer to sustain soil productivity. Experiments on eastern Montana land show phosphorus applications in corn, wheat, and alfalfa increase yields. Wheat gains average 3% per acre with 80 pounds of acid phosphate yearly. alfalfa gains 0.36 ton per acre with 190 pounds annually. Apply phosphorus when crops near growth start, typically fall for wheat or early spring for quick-acting forms.

Crop rotation profits on the farm
Rotation of grain crops with legumes boosts yields.
