Listen Later

Episode Summary

Fertilizer can represent 10 to 20% of total input costs and yet many operations are still running the same rates, with the same suppliers, year after year without questioning whether that money is actually working as hard as it could be. In this week's episode, I dive into some figures within our own operation and how smarter agronomy, supplier shopping, and efficiency-focused thinking can add up to real, meaningful savings.This episode challenges you to find just 5 to 10% improvement in your own operation.

In this week's episode on cutting fertilizer costs:

  • Start with better soil data
  • Use an independent agronomist
  • Shop multiple suppliers
  • Poor man's variable rate technology
  • Book fertilizer in the fall
