Things are certainly heating up in the deer woods and will for the next 2 weeks before the full moon on November 10th. The breeding should start around the 12th. The next 2 weeks will be the most exciting time for deer hunters to be in the woods.
It seems that we have another rain chance coming our way this week. I fertilized a couple of wheat plots with some 13-13-13 today. I like to drop at least 200/acre of fertilizer. The plots are in fine shape so far. They are staying moist and now with another rain kick things with keep growing. I noticed that the buck movement is continuing to increase. We are on schedule for breeding to start around the 12th.
Rain is great for my food plots. I may have to put some more fertilizer down before the next shower.
I started a research project using a new product that may save a person 50 to 75% on their fertilizer bill. I have sprayed a product that contains specific soil bacteria, an organic acid that is highly desirable to improve plan growth and a biological stimulant. 2 soil samples were collected from respective fields to determine the amount of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potash that was present. The two fields were planted and sprayed with the new product. One of the two test fields was fertilized with 150# of 13-13-13. The second field, of course, just received the new product. The fall rains came,the seed germinated and the fields are lush.The fields are so lush that 2 people standing in the middle cannot tell the difference. Forage samples have been taken and analysed for protein content. The results are both over 30% protein. The two results are separated by less than 1%. Is this difference significant??? What does everyone think?? Lets hear some comments before I tell the rest of the story.
When some dairy's wash out their milking parlors, all that crap runs into a tractor pulled tank and it gets pump sprayed out onto the wheat fields during the summer after wheat harvest. Yummie
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH,Why do you say that????
Dairy owner said he uses no NO3 for fertilizer on two fields and it saves him a lot of $$$$$$. I've taken a lot of notes off of this thread by the way, thanks for posting all of your info.

4570- The info that I have posted is just the tip of the iceberg. I have over 20 years of wastewater consulting and have worked on over 200 municipal and industrial treatment projects including dairies. The technology that I have worked with may save the ag industry an enormous amount of dollars on fertilizer costs and other related costs.
