Heavy rains hard on area crops

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 18, 2015 - 2:45pm

By Mark Badertscher
Hardin Extension Office
Hardin County has recently experienced heavy rains in the past week.

Producers may have concerns about nitrogen loss in cornfields.  Nitrogen losses occur by two main pathways: de-nitrification, which is gaseous loss of nitrogen, and leaching of nitrate from the soil through water leaving the tile line or into groundwater.  There is no tool or test that can tell us how much has been lost.
