Default RE: RR Corn without fertilizer


It might not be a total waste, but you stand a good chance of the corn not getting much of an ear. If you could get access to some poultry litter or any manure, that would work. The price of nitrogen has came down in price from what it was last year. I just recently purchased mine in bulk for .56 cent a pound, half of what it was last fall. It would be worth the investment to add nitrogen at least 80lbs per acre, it really needs closer to 200lbs. Check out your local feed store for Urea 46-0-0 that is about the cheapest form you can buy, maybe a big box store would have it as lawn fertilizer cheaper. Corn is expensive to grow, but its hard to beat for fall/winter.
