[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 779233, member: 1715"] I have clay soil with lots and lots of rocks. Good land for this area but too far north for long season/high yielding row crops. Because of the short summers we do not have much of a summer slump, and so annual forage production is more on a par with some southern areas than corn production. Two cuttings on better land this (wet) year totaled about 4.5 tons/acre. The local grass fed marketing company has pushed foliar feeding for a while. Basic idea is that, regardless of the soil mineralization test results, there are some things that are not readily available. What you put on is supposed to be based on forage - not soil - testing. Some Nebraska and Missouri grazers are have recently been working with spraying on raw milk. Theory is that this super charges the bug life in the soil. My thought is to apply about a ton/acre of beet lime every other year, apply some al sulfate plus boron right at green up the alternate year, and do some test strips with foliar in late June when growth is still vigorous.
