The Mill's 2022 Crop Showcase field trials focused on product comparisons and management practices.Â
Field A – A soybean trial to maintain expected yield while applying 25% less Phosphorus than recommended on soil test recommendations using an experimental Verdesian product for P stabilization as well as technology to release bound P in soil. If successful, the potential savings from less P is $18.75/ac.
Field B – A corn trial to determine if there is a yield advantage using micros. Microsync Plus with Ca,S,Zn,B is a granular source of micronutrients with fertilizer as an in-season topdress.
Field C– A soybean trial to determine a yield advantage between untreated vs treated seed comparing a regular inoculent as well as one with a boosted nitrogen assimilator.
Field DÂ - A corn trial to compare and determine if there is a yield advantage between 2 brands of in-furrow starter fertilizer.
Field E Front –A corn trial that seeks to gain a yield advantage by pushing higher K rates to approximatley 45 units higher than soil recommendations with a topdress at V6-V10 stage as well as a strip with K and Micros applied as a foliar app of at the same stage.
Field E Back - A soybean trial that measures yield advantages from sulfur. The plot will test no sulfur, 75 AMS preplant, foliar S in-season (late season), and combined AMS w/foliar late season.

The Mill's Crop 2021 Showcase
The Mill's 11th Annual Crop Showcase was 8/25/2021 at Clear Meadow Farm in White Hall, MD. Field trials were viewed by regional farmers and agribusiness professionals. Attendees are invited to winter grower meetings where they can learn the results of the field trials after harvest.
