The high fertilizer bill has more growers considering variable rate application. “There’s a lot of guys have had conversations about it, but haven’t committed,” said Troy Amundson, Premium Ag Solutions. “A lot of times, they haven’t committed because they don’t know exactly how to do it.” Amundson says the focus begins with the planter. “We do a lot of variable rate nitrogen with planters looking at an in-furrow application whether it would be a Soygreen type application or an in-furrow pop-up type application to put the fertilizer where it should be in the more productive soils and back off where it the soils can’t handle it.” As fertilizer prices rise, Amundson says farmers are looking for more efficiency.”
