[QUOTE="Flatlander, post: 7482844, member: 156006"] Ben b. What a small would it is. I farmed land at aldermaston and then some closer to calne in Wiltshire. So newbury was almost home. I’m currently five minutes south of Winnipeg. Heavy red river clay that’s as flat as you could make it. Portage is an hour from here and we’d consider it lighter land by far. If you’ve been here for even a summer you’ll appreciate the massive swings in the weather that are possible. Some find it hard to believe without seeing it.i thought the uk could rain hard but seeing the amount of rain from one thunderstorm here it makes me wonder how early settlers ever coped growing crops. I used to test every year but found it fairly reliable to track phosphate levels with yield and extraction amount. N I base off if yields goals and previous crop and organic matter levels. Currently running in the 4-6 percent OM so expect 40- 60 units of N from mineralization. Still test every third year to keep a check on fertility levels. Potash levels are naturally very high,sulphur and phosphate are generally adequate but I like to add 15 percent over previous crops removal.all crop residue is chopped and incorporated, volunteers after harvest are encouraged and treated as green manure. As for pgr I’m going to do some test strips I think. Recommend rate and then split app and see if I can find a sweet spot that is crop safe under local conditions.
