Adjusting Your Fertility Budget To The Price of Corn

Chad Henderson doesn’t like to skimp on crop inputs. He is, after all, one of the “send it twins” — always ready to push the limits and add an additional application. That’s why we at XA thought it’d be fun to put a throttle governor on Chad. Along with our field day partners at AgroLiquid, we gave Chad three budgets based on three different corn prices — $4, $6, and $8 per bushel.  Some corn plots seek only to show you how big of corn they can make. Chad’s 2024 research plot, conversely, will show you exactly what to expect with $100 per acre increases on fertility spend.
