It Really Is All About the Sulphur!
Chuck Farr, Mid-South AG Consultants, said it all started with the soil test results and then moved to the yield maps.
“These problems started in about 2004. We saw that soil test results didn’t show any problems with levels of phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. All were sufficient. But something was missing from our fertility program. When I laid the soil test results for sulphur over the yield maps, the lightbulb went off. Soil test sulphur levels were between 5 and 8 ppm in heavy soil.”
