Corn School: Determining most economical rate of nitrogen for 2022

It’s November and Ontario corn growers continue to push through a harvest that will likely smash the provincial yield record. There's a lot of talk about 2022 and what impact the cost of nutrients will have on growing corn when the calendar turns to next year.
On this episode of RealAgriculture's Corn School, we're joined by University of Guelph associate professor Dave Hooker to crunch some numbers and determine the most economical rate of nitrogen (MERN) for 2022.

common sense, thank you for telling for doubters!

[@brentbettger4734]

Love this show

[@davehooker2805]

Note that the hypothetical response curve used here is one with a high N response scenario. The higher the response to fertilizer N, the less impact of the price ratio

[@BigPtace]

Really looking forward next year prices.

Is this calculator available? I’d like to see the same thing done for $5 corn.

[@vincy.]

Can you explain the rice forming

Farmers are already reducing fertilizer use over 70% while increasing yield nearly 7% with the “SNX30-XL nutrient supplement”. As one farmer put it - It almost feels like cheating!

Can I get wheat Pete as a 3rd talking head on this one?

What are your thoughts Jeremiah? Curious.

How much did the nitrogen fertilizer suppliers pay for that study😆😆

[@davehooker2805]

Zero 😆
