Dr. Robert H. White-Stevens warns U S grain surplus is not vast enough to prevent famine if production falls.

Boost Wheat Yields Through Early Nitrogen Dressings
Nebraska farmers can raise winter wheat profits by ton-dressing with nitrogen before April 15 when moisture is adequate. Early dressings help gauge subsoil moisture and improve nitrogen efficiency, with research showing returns of at least $2.75 for every $1 invested. 50 pounds of nitrogen per acre often promotes full production, and more straw incorporation may raise nitrogen needs.
