Feed efficiency for corn

When you apply nitrogen several times in a given season, it’s a great way to hedge against weather-related losses. Experts liken this timely feeding of corn to selling grain – since you cannot predict a global market, you sell grain in increments over time to spread your risk.

Costs can go up when you manage nitrogen for greater efficiency. But many growers in this special issue say such efficiency decreases the total amount of nitrogen applied because they no longer have to compensate for anticipated losses, which can offset the additional investment. Yes, there are numerous variables that can challenge this nitrogen efficiency strategy – like seasonal pricing, soil variability, weather event extremes, vendor issues – but the farmers in these pages are making it work.
