Costs per acre for corn traditional 636, ecological 346
Costs per acre for beans traditional 434 ecological 167
Yield difference by tiers on a ten year average corn tier one advantage 29 bushel, tier two advantage is 7 bushel
Yield difference by tiers beans tier one advantage 10.8, tier two advantage is 2.8
Tier One is 6 years or more and tier two is 3-5 and tier one is 1-3

CHOICES
TRUCK FARMING
ECOLOGICAL FARMING
• Always keep it green
• Mitigate toxicity
• Use appropriate soil amendments
• Never till
• Use viable biological enhancements
• A misstep is not a step backwards, it is a quantum leap backwards
ALWAYS KEEP IT GREEN
MITIGATE TOXICITY
USE APPROPRIATE SOIL AMENDMENTS
NEVER EVER TILL
USE VIABLE BIOLOGICAL ENHANCEMENTS
A MISSTEP IS NOT A STEP BACKWARDS, IT IS A QUANTUM
LEAP BACKWARDS
LESS IS MORE…MORE IS TOO MUCH!

JUST RESULTS
Felver Farm Soil Test after 4 Years •P increased 23%
•K increased 14%
•OM added .46%
•Without adding any nutrients

FALLOW FORAGE
Cereal Rye before Soybeans -
• 7.1 bushel yield bump
• Easy start
• Soil bean disease issues remediated
• Beginning of soil health
• Good for OM
Fallow Period Forage/150lbs nitrogen
• Viable double crop
• Great for nutrient preparation
• Excellent soil structure enhancement
• High value feed
REDUCED INPUTS: • DO NOT FERTILIZE FOR SOYBEANS
• REDUCED RATES OF SULFUR, HALF RATE NITROGEN, NO PHOSPHOROUS, MINIMAL MICRONUTRIENTS FOR CORN
• HALF NITROGEN, HALF POTASH FOR SMALL GRAIN
• DO NOT FERTILIZE FORAGE
YIELD RESULTS: • SOYBEAN YIELDS INCREASED 10+ BUSHELS
• CORN COMPARABLE TO NEIGHBORING YIELDS
• WHEAT YIELDS INCREASED 10-20 BUSHELS
• HAY YIELDS INCREASED 50%
