An 83 year old husband dies on the golf course leaving a wife aged 57. She discovers life insurance, company pension, severance, and a savings fund totaling about 16 000 with monthly payments and a 100 monthly life policy, plus a 50 monthly Social Security survivor option. She was unaware of these provisions and how they would support her after his death.
Purdue extension expert Russell Stivers explains that corn ears reveal soil nutrient status and planting rate. Large ears imply thin stands, small ears signal fertility or moisture limits, and missing kernel rows indicate phosphate or potash shortages, nitrogen stress, or drought affecting pollination. Soil tests and lime/fertilizer can boost next year’s yields.
Midwest agronomists summarized by the National Plant Food Institute say fall top-dressing alfalfa with phosphate and potash yields a three way gain. Extra high quality hay and better winter survival followed by vigorous spring growth and extended stand life, with soil testing guiding rates.
Dr. John Pesek of Iowa State University urges fall fertilization to boost farm income and save time. Fall plow-down phosphates and potash often beat spring disk-in, with nitrogen plowed under in suitable soils. He advises soil tests to guide lime and fertilizer use.
National Plant Food Institute cites college soil scientists noting lime on acidic soils in summer or fall improves next year’s yields and reduces costs. Wisconsin data show lime boosts fertilizer efficiency and long lasting soil benefits up to five years or more, with increases in corn, oats, wheat, and alfalfa yields from liming. Soil tests can determine lime and fertilizer rates.
Kansas State University agronomist Dr. Floyd W. Smith reports fall fertilization can boost winter wheat yields by 13 bushels per acre and raise profit per dollar invested to as much as 2.70 to 3.00. Recommendations include 30 to 50 pounds of nitrogen per acre, soil testing for phosphate and potash needs, and band placement of phosphate and potash with seed. Missouri specialists endorse higher fall rates to cut costs and increase net income, with Nebraska experts noting substantial returns.
National surveys show farmers who have soils tested and follow fertilizer recommendations post higher net income per bushel and per acre than those who skip testing. Midwest agronomists urge fall sampling for timely results, outlining uniform-area sampling steps and mailing procedures to ensure profitable fertilizer and lime investments.
