We were lucky with our corn, it was soooo wet when we planted, then it didn't rain for almost a month. The soil is so heavy that it holds moisture well, and I think that saved us. When the corn was about knee high, I got 1200 lbs of urea, and waited until there was a good chance of rain. We spread about 100 lb/acre with a funnel spreader. We have the 2 acre plot in the Pic, and another 4 acre plot in another field. We got a 2-3" real soaker of rain the next day. The Nitrogen really did its thing, and the corn shot up 2 ft in less than two weeks, some of it ended up getting almost 10 ft tall. It would seem that each time we got rain, it was a good amount (few and far in between) but always at a critical time for the corn.

We'll have more corn than ever this year, the 6 acres last year was spotty, but still gave us tons of standing corn, and the deer really ate on it all winter. Last year we only applied a few hundref lbs of urea, and only in selected areas to test out our application process.

Our clover plots look good, our best clover plot is a pure stand of whites, and it looks great. The others are OK, after going dormant for a time this summer. As green as they look, they do not compare with some of the neighbor's alfalfa fields.
