Fertilizing Brome Fields Pays Off for Local Farmer
Ralph Batdorf, living near Briles School north of Ottawa, farms about 320 acres with 32 acres in brome and 4 sod waterways. This spring he top dressed 8 tons of ammonium nitrate at 33 percent nitrogen, about 85 pounds per acre, and plans to add 4.5 more acres to brome and alfalfa. He notes annual nitrate fertilization keeps the 10 year old 20 acre brome field productive and supports his dairy program by reducing labor and curbing soil erosion.
