Skimping on Plant Food Can Cut Yields and Profits
Farmers who delay liming and skimp on fertilizer or use cheaper seed risk lower acre yields and profits. Economists note that higher fertilizer use raises output per acre, spreading fixed costs over more bushels to widen the profit margin. In corn, 40 bushels per acre cover costs, 50 bushels yield little profit, while 80 or more bushels with fertilizer raise profits.
