Testing, testing, anyone out there? Q10 is now up! #agchat

Q10 In our area high pH causes problems in corn and soybeans, so using variable rate fertilizer with the planter can improve yields. #agchat

Q10: 2 ways - 1) variable rate fertilizer based on soil tests 2) varible rate fertilizer/lime based on previous yield history #agchat

Farm3rsDaught3r:
Q10: IMO the payoff time is short, you can save so much by reducing fert inputs and soon the data will allow variable plant pops #agchat

Q10 - not much integration I am aware with planters, but variable fertilizer systems to apply fert here needed #agchat

Q10 Haven't gotten into variable rate yet. I think it has many benefits though. #agchat

Q10 - Precision Planting has system that adjusts down pressure in field while planting 2 optimize seed placement/minimize compaction #agchat

Farm3rsDaught3r:
Q10: GPS tech will allow us to minimize inputs while maximizing yield, lessens impact on soil and increases the bottom line. #agchat

Q10 B/C we use GPS we can variable rate seed to match soil characteristics we control traffic patterns with using same row each yr #agchat

Q10 are there planters that will allow you to change seeding ratte on the go from the cab? #agchat

kansfarmer:
Q10 - I think when we talk about soil quality and variable rate, we are usually talking more about water holding/drainage capacity #agchat

FarmerHaley:
@nel1jack Q10 yes most planters will do variable rate planting, most done from past data from yeilds and soil tests #agchat

nickemanuel:
Q10 paybacks depend on the amount of soil variability present. The more variability, the greater the benefit and quicker return #agchat

ksfarmboy:
Q10 Our air seeder is variable rate capable, but we need higher plant populations to help compete with weeds. #agchat

Q10 We can make things too damn complicated if we aren't careful. I try to stick to the Keep it simple stupid method. #agchat

kansfarmer:
Re complication of Q10 - consider what couple generations ago would've thought of today's standard planters? #agchat

TruffleMedia: @weedgirl24 #agchat Q10 metrics=> data points of soil on which you would make a GPS decision; sq feet to sq feet this data might change
