He made one trip with a field cultivator in spring. We don't have a lot of insect pressure. The first side-dress went on two weeks after emergence, the next just before it was too big to drive through, about a month after planting. Woodall cultivates after the second side-dressing to loosen the soil and incorporate the nitrogen. He also applied 100 lb.
All fertilizer is incorporated.
Woodall calls it a good year overall. It wasn't a bad year. The weather was good overall. May, usually one of our wetter months, was drier than normal, which was good. The field also got plenty of rain in July and August, which were both on the cool side.
