tested this tool for the past few
years. Most recently in 2019, we
were able split a field with a grower
to fertilize his standard way vs. what
the tool said would have the best
possible outcome. Having an
outcome better then we had hoped
for, the FFT treated portion of the
field yielded 18 bushel/acre better
than the grower standard with only
10# of additional nitrogen.

In another case, we worked with a
grower that had one last fertigation
pass to apply to his corn crop. After
running a scenario to try to find the
best timing and rate to run the last
pass, FFT told us that his fertigation
pass would have no yield response
whatsoever. This allowed the grower
to save the time and money from that FFT Recommended - 213.23 bu/ac.
application to have a higher ROI on
the field.

Sometimes the answer might be to put our foot on the gas and push our
fertility to achieve a greater yield, while in other cases the best answer
might be to pull back on fertility and save the input dollars. In both cases,
the grower
was able to
see a higher
return on
investment
