The conversation centered on three topics which are critical to every farm: Trace Minerals: Gary's preferred trace mineral nutrition sources and distribution methods, A lively discussion on sap, tissue, soil and dairy ration testing, Using mineral inputs when and where needed, with purpose, based on data Nitrogen Management: Nitrogen management is NOT merely a numbers game, Digestibility and solubility are the critical considerations in N management, The use of various nitrogen stabilizers such as polymer coatings, humates and carbohydrates, The use of S, Mg and Mo to stabilize nitrogen in the soil, Growing crops without purchased nitrogen, Removing N availability as a limiting factor by growing N Carbon: A perceived N response which is actually caused by solubilizing carbon and releasing CO2, The economics of mineral balance in terms of yield bump vs. yield loss, How to best think about cover crops and their use.
