Corn and soybean take up relatively large amounts of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), and much of this P and K ends up in the grain that is taken off the field during harvest. In order to keep soil nutrient levels from dropping over time, the amounts removed need to be replaced by applying fertilizer or manure. In order to know how much nutrient a crop removes, we need to know how much there is in a bushel of harvested grain.

In this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Montag Mfg., we welcome President of Ward Laboratories Ray Ward to share his knowledge on micronutrients and what no-tillers can do to ensure their crops have the fertility they need.
