Putting our money where our mouth is!

The two corn fields by this 80 will be getting 50 units of treated urea.

This field just received 20oz of fulltec nitro at V4 and will receive another shot along with Cube around V10-12. No top dress this year.

All fields received 125 units in December and all will also have Relax RX in the tank as well.

If you get curious feel free to walk through the corn as it grows if you’re in the area.

Time for the big dog to come out of hiding! Laying down some wheat fungicide tomorrow morning before the wind kicks up again.

Urea is approaching $1.09/unit ($1000/ton)

28% is at $1.02/unit ($570/ton)

It’s safe to say top and side dress is about to get expensive. So what alternatives are there?

Something we are rolling around trying instead of a top dress:

- 20oz Fulltec Nitro - add with post herbicide pass or fly on at V8 (20 units estimated)
- 32oz BW Amino with fungicide. (10 units estimated)

In this situation the farmer has applied 125lbs of fall N and using Baseline RX we have determined to reach a 200bu goal we are going to need 150-160lbs of total applied N. This number could obviously change due to weather and what our in season samples come back with.

Estimated cost of 40 units dry: $43/ac

Estimated cost of 30 units with Nitro in post herbicide pass plus Amino with fungicide: $21.25/ac

The reason we added 10 more units to the dry top dress is simply because we always lose a portion of N when applying dry fertility.

This is simply a theory we are going to try and by no means are we saying to go full boar with it. But with tight margins and fertilizer being inefficient and expensive, we have to find a smarter way to do things in passes we are already making. Everyone’s situation is different but this seems like a possible option in this real world situation.

Also, once the urea is spread, your dollar is spent. You have a few chances to pull the plug if weather decides to turn with Nitro and Amino.

Let us know if this would be something you’d want to experiment with in a field. It’s time to start thinking outside of the traditional agricultural box.

Long post warning.

One of the best research data days I’ve been to on the last day of the spray drone conference. Had ag industry researchers on adjuvants, drift, deposition, and plant uptake from multiple countries with decades of experience. Here’s our main key takeaways in our opinion. A lot to unpack.

1. Reduce your tested coverage swath by 20-25% depending on canopy you are trying to pe*****te. Ex. The T50 seemed to run well at 30ft wide and 12ft above string test. We ran 24ft all last year which is 20% more narrow. Refreshing to see a numerical value to what we were already on track for and the industry trying to correct bad application.

2. 10-12ft above crop still seems to be the sweet spot.

3. 1 gpa work seems to be very inconsistent from Brazils data. It’s also illegal in the US. 2-3gpa is far superior. Just an observation.

4. Auburn had one of the most in-depth studies on fungicide I’ve ever seen. They also had a great study on 3gpa soybean desiccation vs 15gpa with a ground rig. Did not see a measurable difference in effectiveness using gramoxone. Measured the deposition and the actual uptake of the active ingredients of Delaro Complete on the ear leaf comparing drones and planes at 2 and 3 gpa. They physically pulled ear leaves (a ton of them, I’d hate to be doing that) 4-5 hours after application and had each one tissue tested. 2 gpa from drones had at or more than double the uptake than 2 gpa from a plane, that difference was cut in half with a plane at 3gpa. Same story with dye deposition on the ear leaf.

While there is way more research to be done and this is just one season, I was not expecting to see that big of a difference in uptake and deposition on the ear leaf. Would like to see helicopters and ground sprayers in this also. With 40 gallon drones hitting the field this year for testing and 60 gallon drones in development for a potential 2027 debut, 150ac an hour with one drone are on the horizon, pair that with proper application and you have yourself a superior aerial application platform.

We will be at 100-125ac an hour with two 20 gallon drones.

This was just a quick generalization, Im sure this research will be available online here soon and will post a link.

Give us a shout to get lined up for 2026.n

Curious about nutrient efficiency? Do you currently use biologicals without measuring WEOC in season or basing fertility decision without it? Join us at the Manhattan KS road show. If you would like to carpool or have us fill your tank that is something we can arrange.

Awesome initiative. If only there was a company in Taylors backyard that will cover a lot of acres this year 😁

Great fungicide additive to think about!

Beck’s Practical Farm Research results are in, and we’re proud to announce that Fulltec Cube has officially earned the PFR Proven stamp of approval. ✅

This is more than just a label to us. This means Fulltec Cube was tested for at least three years across multiple locations, delivered a positive yield gain each year, and averaged a positive ROI over the full trial period. Real results, real impact for your farm.

Results that speak for themselves.

Interesting find on twitter the other day from someone. Two applications of generic providing the best ROI according to Iowa state last year.

We will be testing this in different locations this coming year

Grower Standard

10oz Veltyma @ R1 ~ $26/ac (based on $339/gal last year)
Drone Application - $12/ac
Fulltec adjuvant - $2/ac
Cost - roughly $40/ac

WEMO 2 Pass Program w/ foliar

10.5oz Generic Quilt @ VT-R1 and R3-4 ~$10/ac
BW AmiNo @ R1 ~ $5-$10 (depending on rate)
4oz Fulltec Cube @ R3 ~ $6.25/ac
Potassium Acetate @ R3 ~ $3/ac
Fulltec adjuvant - $4/ac
Application fee - $24/ac

Cost - roughly around $54/ac give or take

Cost without foliar nutrition - roughly $38/ac

These prices are just estimates but will not vary much.
