Fall Nitrogen

Prairie Farmer recently posted an article reminding us that Fall Nitrogen Management includes refraining from application before soil temperatures reach 50 degrees Fahrenheit at 10AM.  I will be posting soil temperature at 10 AM when I am in the field.  Post goes to Twitter and also feeds this blog.  I would suggest n addition that no nitrogen be applied before November 1.  I don't like to see N fall applied at all, but if you must, at least wait.  Soil temperatures can fluctuate a lot in October.  Cool One day and warm for a week.  Please hold off for both the environment and your pocketbook.
