Based on a two year study of the first cutting of forage. Wheat in this area usually contains from 10 to 1 1 per cent protein, and the grower is penalized from 2$ to 206 Per bushel for this low protein. However, with 15 protein, the grower could receive a bonus of up to 306 a bushel. Thus, on a 20 bu. per acre yield, the grower can realize up to a $10 acre extra income with the higher protein. You can increase protein content (as well as your yield) by using enough nitrogen on dryland wheat. g fertilizer applied. Agronomically, early fertilization is best enables natural moisture to move the fertilizer down into the root zone. Fertilizer applied late often moves, under furrow irrigation, to the tops of the furrows and then isnt as available as it should be for maximum yields. Apply fertilizer early its easier on you, better for your crops (and profits). 2 Ruth Aiken Knell results of the until they used fertilizer themselves research on dryland wheat. Yields jumped. So did profits. Farmers report a yield increase of 5 to 10 bushels of dryland wheat per acre on good stands when proper fertilization and good management practices were adopted.

With proper fertilization and proper management, yields can be increased dramatically and costs go up only a little (to cover cost of fertilizer and harvesting costs). An increase from 17 tons of beets per acre to 25 tons can make extra profit of $125 per acre. i USS Fertilizers, made by United States Steel, are it you grow 5 Conductor-Consulta- nt $...
