Side dressing ( More fertilizer )

10 to 21 days in the field broadleaf needs more fertilizer. Farmers  put on 500 to 2000 pounds per acre .  This time of year farmers are on 2 or 3 tractors per hour . One tractor for planting . 1 or 2 tractors cultivating . 1 tractor for spring tooth . Another for disking (wheel harrowing) . Farmers work independently when a neighboring Farmer need's a hand - they help each other . This time of year the phrase  "The best tractor on my farm is my neighbors" . Is so true !!!
