This photo shows
us applying anhydrous ammonia to a field that we planted to corn
this year. This is an economical way to apply nitrogen fertilizer for a
high yield. Nitrogen is a very common element in our environment (78% of
the atmosphere is nitrogen) and some is naturally applied each time it rains or
snows but not enough for modern farming.We planted 3325 acres of
corn and 1325 acres of soybeans in 2006. Corn planting starts the first week of April each year and soybean planting usually begins May 1.
