Girard

I went to Girard today to avoid a rainy day. weather was dry, but the soil was very moist. I did not sink in, but it was just pretty damp. Cores pulled well. I did nitrogen and some regular.

Several fields I sampled for Nitrogen, I had already done the regular on. It is always interesting to see how much corn I kill when I ride over it with the 4 wheeler. In this case, none to extremely negligible. That is almost always the case. One customer said to never run in the same place twice. That seems to be a good idea. I once calculated that if I kill every plant I hit it will be 1/2 bushel per acre. I suspect that 90% survive in most cases. That means I cost about 2.5/100 of a bushel. That is pretty negligible.
