Much good information already stated, I also enjoy the seat time, but when it comes to spreading fertilizer, I hire it out. First we till the field ( we disc ) Second we plant round up ready 92 Day corn/ not conventional so it can be sprayed. We plant bare with no starter fertilizer. Third we spray as needed when weeds start to take over, most of the time if corn is small four leaf stage it may rebound if you drive on a little on the end rows. Forth we spread or side dress with Urea (try and time before rainfall but plant must be dry and not dewy) when corn is about to canopy ( just so highboy spreader can get through). Some of the main reason we contract this are A. They cover about 60 ft per pass, not running as much down. B. Same as you we only do 20-40 acres and don't have to tool up. C. We don't have to handle and transport fertilizer; last year It was cheaper for them to just spread it then deliver small amount.
We plant 34 inch 4 row wide. Around 30,000 plants per acre. Spray with any Glyphosate ( Round Up) Apply coated Urea (ESN slow release if you want $$) base on your ground? I put 300 lbs. plus preplanting cow manure!
Pics are at planting May 9th, after spray/before Urea June 22nd, Harvest Oct. 17th.
If we get 165 Bushel/Acre were doing good. West Wisconsin
