As the winter learning season rolls forward, the agronomy questions are flooding in, and Peter Johnson, host of Wheat Pete’s Word, wouldn’t have it any other way.
In this week’s episode, Johnson tackles some very complicated — but super important — ins and outs of nitrogen management. Confused about which crops leave a credit and why some do not? This is important stuff to figure out, so stick with us folks, it gets interesting.
From there, he talks phosphorus application and efficiency, plus 15″ corn considerations as a follow up to last week, and on to some trade-offs in cover crop selection and planting timing. And, as icing on the cake, Johnson challenges us all to think about feeding soil microbes, not just plants in our cropping plans. Food for thought, for sure.

Questions & Answer Summary:
- Winter survival — single vs double cut clover, is there a difference?
- Frost seeding, vs fall seeding, vs pea/oat mix after wheat — best option or trade-offs?
- Corn on corn, with cereal rye, in between — is there anything better? Maybe, but maybe not. It will add OM, but won’t break the disease cycle
- 15″ corn — it’s simple, says one caller, why make it so complicated? Well…listen to find out!
