"We saw an immediate benefit during the heavy 2020 rainfall - which was our first soybean year. Over the next three drought years, we found no evidence that the tile over-drained that field. We’re excited to observe the results with this year’s sugarbeet planting." -Lindsay Pease

"Really avoid N applications like urea. It's probably a little too early. Try to time those ahead of whatever crop you've got going. With corn and maybe surgarbeet, we're looking at later plantings. So try to time those closer to when that crop goes in." -Dan Kaiser, U of M EXT
