Steel Corp.’s agricultural engineers features special corrosion resistant slotted steel floors and pits underneath which run the full length of the bam for easy removal o£ manure. Steel in the Blotted floors is USS Cor-Ten, known for its superior corrosion resistance in manure spreaders and hog pen floor applications. The use of clear-span trusses also eliminates Interior obstructions, so that the all-steel structure can be easily adapted for beef or dairy cattle, hogs, chickens or gram drying.

The availability of ample N has provided us with a production "tool” which we- are still learning to use and to understand its relationship to other plant nutrients. Nitrogen was often the most limiting element in early trials involving P and K. Results now indicate that when ample N is used, “sights’ on other essential elements must be increased accordingly. This is particularly true for potassium. Also, attention must be given to soil pH changes. The crop requirements and the soil nutrient supply determine what additional plant food needs to be applied. Test your soil. Know your cropping history. Know your crop’s ' plant food requirements. Set your goals for profits.
