With the weather extremes we have had - especially rainfall, I am concerned about nitrogen loss. During June of 2010 I received 17 inches. During June of 2011 I received 16 inches. This would be south of Iowa City. Needless to say I lost a lot of bushels. Any nitrogen applied under those circumstances is subject to loss. I can side dress with 28 or 32 percent at the end of May, but I have so many contours and point rows I hate driving over corn. N - serve slows soil organisms down around the band of anhydrous. When the soil gets saturated and lacks oxygen for the soil organisms they (organisms) attack the oxygen molecule on the nitrate or nitrite molecule. So, if I can keep the ammonia band from being attacked I should be able to carry the nitrogen later into the growing season and especially to a point where the weather might calm down. I did use N - serve last year. Costs around $10 an acre. I guess I looked at it as an insurance policy that nitrogen would be there. My soils are heavy - fine textured, no sand. Probably could use more tile. Dow the maker of N - serve says there is a benefit when used during the spring. Can't remember maybe 7 bushels??? I have a couple guys saying forget it - fall use only. Do you guys have any experience or opinions?? Thanks.

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
