About

Good agronomy can help bridge the gap between high prices and quality yields, but unexpected events, high input costs and product scarcity can all derail your harvest outcomes. In our Thursday panel discussion, AgroLiquid experts Galynn Beer and Brian Waugh walk you through their planning process.

Fast Facts

1. A soil test, a budget and a knowledgeable agronomist are your best guides.
In a perfect world, cost would be no issue and everyone’s soil would be perfectly balanced. But in reality, crop nutrition is all about managing trade-offs. That starts with a soil test and a bit of math.

2. Nitrogen recommendations have changed.
“When I was growing up, our common recommendation for nitrogen was 1.3 pounds of nitrogen for a bushel of corn,” says Gaylnn Beer, AgroLiquid National Strategy and Product Management Lead. “Over time, we’ve learned we can be more efficient with nitrogen and that helps keep your budget in check.”

3. In-season applications may help you make up for slow starts.
We can’t predict how weather, timing and other events will impact our crop during pre-season budget planning. Foliar applications can be made once growers have more information from the field, including tissue test results, signs of deficiency in the field or weather challenges. Leaving room in your budget for foliar applications may help mitigate those challenges.
