Eric Odberg explains how variable rate nitrogen application works with direct seeding in dryland cereal production.
This video features Eric Odberg, a fourth-generation farmer near Genesee, Idaho, describing how he uses precision nitrogen application as part of a direct-seed dryland cropping system. Odberg farms 2,200 acres in a 22-inch rainfall area with a rotation of winter wheat, pulses, spring grain, and an emerging fourth crop of canola. The video focuses on how Odberg began using variable rate nitrogen after purchasing an Exactrix anhydrous fertilizer delivery system and a yield monitor, which showed large yield differences between lower-producing hilltops and higher-producing draw bottoms.
