Corn - how much for family of 5?

[clipper9]

We do put nitrogen on the corn, before (or during) a rain or we water it in. We also believe in soil testing; here in Alabama we can send samples off to AU for testing, but if not, we will do PH test for acid or alkaline to test for adding lime in the fall winter before.

It is common to add lime in Alabama soil, and we rotate crops. Lime is not instant fix unless you buy the expensive kind, so if you need to lime your soil, plan ahead as it takes a while to "do its thing."

Our agronomist contact at AU says be sure to put nitrogen on corn, we do it about 3 and sometimes even 4 times, and we get 2 or more ears per stalk of healthy corn. We grow hybrid sweet.
