utilizing nutrients and what effect
high rates are having on them.
Soil testing will also go much
deeper this year. With an
hydraulic probe on a tractor,
samples will be taken to depths up
to four feet where possible.
In addition to providing access to
test locations, cooperating farmers
help by giving researchers their
past histories of manuring, fer
tilizing and cropping operations
and keep daily temperature and
rainfall data.
In addition to the scattered soil
testing locations, specific studies
will concentreate on both par-
ticular cropping and livestock
operations.
Five specific com plots will be
studied closely to examine varying

amounts of nitrogen being applied.
Also, one dairy and one poultry
operation will be closely studied to
trace the flow of all nutrients into
and out of the farm. Everything
going into and out of the farms will
be weighed and measured to keep
exact tabs of the nutrient flow.
From last year’s study of 44 field
locations on 22 farms, the studies
have already revealed data on the
amounts of manure and fertilizers
being applied.
Findings of amounts have
ranged up to 600 to 700 lbs. of
manure nitrogen and 900 lbs. of
manure phosphorus being applied
on some farms.
“Now, we’re already able to tell
you when you have too much on at
the beginning of the year,” Baker
explained.

The continuing studies are
aimed at pinpointing the amount of
additional nutrients that become
available during the growing
season from the weathering of the
manure and how much excess
nutrients are remaining in the soil
after harvest and what is carried
over the following spring. And, of
course, what happens to nutrients
between these two periods.
Baker explained that area
farmers will see more and more
people studying operations as
projects expand.
“We’re working toward a goal of
helping farmers to achieve better
nutrient and soil fertility
management,” Baker said.
“We still want maximum crop
yields, but with minimum loss of
nutrients.”
He also had some words of
caution of why achieving a better
soil nutrient balance is so im
portant.
