A Northeast Kansas farmer says he will be changing his crop rotation to avoid sticker shock from fertilizer prices.
Brandon Litch grows corn, soybeans and wheat near Melvern and says he’s discovered a trend recently. “We have some bottom ground that can raise 200-bushel corn and we have some upland that doesn’t do as good. The last few years we’ve been raising more wheat on the upland and not so much corn on the upland.”
He tells Brownfield they will raise more corn in low-lying areas where he doesn’t apply as much fertilizer.
