Continuous Corn Nutrient Management

In this episode of the Nutrient Management Podcast, four U of M researchers discuss continuous corn nutrient management. 

  • What are the most challenging aspects of continuous corn production? 
  • Which key nutrients are impacted by residue breakdown and how can continuous corn growers manage residue to limit nutrient tie-up? 
  • What has recent research told us about how to maximize yield in a continuous corn system? 
  • Are there any other practices, not specifically related to fertilizer management, that may interact with a soil fertility program that growers should be aware of for continuous corn production? 

Thank you to Minnesota's Agricultural Fertilizer Research and Education Council (AFREC) for supporting the podcast.

Planting the First Ever Crop on My New Ground

Video: Planting the First Ever Crop on My New Ground


We just planted the first crop ever on Zach's newly purchased 38-acre field, and it wasn't without its challenges. In this video, we dig behind the planter to check soil moisture, talk through our starter fertilizer program, and discover this ground has some heavier soil than expected, including high magnesium levels and some mucky conditions down deep.
