Our modern crop production system is on a collision course with the non-farming public who are become more removed from farming with each generation. Many outside of agriculture, including regulators, associate high-yield crop production with being environmentally reckless.<\/p>\n<p>The EPA and states located in the Upper Mississippi watershed are developing strategies to deal with nutrient water quality issues. Even if you don\u2019t farm within this watershed, your farmland is located in another watershed. Every grower needs to be involved in this issue.<\/p>\n<p>As the debate heats up and you find yourself attending meetings addressing how you manage nutrients, you will likely hear the term \u201cnutrient use efficiency\u201d (NUE). In the case of nutrients, like N, NUE is a data calculation that Premier Crop has used since our start: total \u201cpounds of applied N per bushel of corn produced.\u201d I like to think of the NUE discussion as \u201chow can I squeeze the most possible yield out of every pound of N I apply?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Future NUE discussions may be driven by environmental concerns, but our drive has also been increasing growers\u2019 profitability though more efficient nutrient use. We believe that your data is a vital part to having the best of both worlds \u2014 producing high yields and being an environmental steward.<\/p>\n<p>In a column that has national reach, it\u2019s difficult to address any specific nutrient management solution because it changes dramatically by local area. In the Upper Midwest, we are blessed with highly productive soils that are high in organic matter. <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2495 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiercrop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/nutrient-data.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"271\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.premiercrop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/nutrient-data.png 346w, https:\/\/www.premiercrop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/nutrient-data-144x300.png 144w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 271px) 100vw, 271px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Recent university studies show that on average, 50% to 70% of the N that feeds our crop is soil-supplied, not fertilizer-supplied! This means we need to better understand the differences in N-supplying abilities of different management zones in our fields, across farming operations and throughout local areas.<\/p>\n<p>As the late management guru W. Edwards Deming said, \u201cYou can\u2019t manage what you don\u2019t measure.\u201d A great starting place for using your data to manage N is calculating your NUE (total \u201cpounds of N per bushel produced\u201d) for each field and by N-management system. Another starting place is to put higher and lower N-rate Learning Blocks within a field\u2019s management zones \u2014 the high check Learning Block being 30 pounds more N, and the lower check being 30 pounds less.<\/p>\n<p>Where is your baseline on becoming a better nutrient steward? Your answer should be your data. What better way to find out the truth about how nutrient efficient you are than digging deeper into your yield, soil test, management zone and applied fertilizer data?<\/p>\n<p>Throughout this column we refer to your data being critical to solving problems, but what may be missed is the word \u201cyour.\u201d Understanding that your data is yours, and yours only, is of great importance. There is nothing anonymous about GPS data. Be careful \u2014 don\u2019t volunteer your data unless you\u2019re sure of the benefit.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Got Data?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ol>\n<li>What is your \u201caverage pounds of N per bushel\u201d for each of your fields?
