This field is located on the      east side of county road 900 W in Westport, Indiana. The nearest town is      Letts, which is 3 miles east.

The legal land description for      this field is W ½ NW ¼ S16 T9N R8E

This field has been in my      boss’s name for many years, and is usually chopped into silage, as it is      located next to the feed bunkers, and close to the main farm. This field      has been in the family for generations, and is a corn and soybean rotation      with chicken manure applied regularly, always producing a steady crop. The      two main soils are Cyclone silt loam and a Fincastle silt loam making up      well over 80% of the land area. The runoff in the area is negligible for      both soil types because of the field's flat nature with slopes around 0 to      2 degrees. The drainage class of the soil is poorly drained. With that      there is some ponding however, waterways in place to help with this.

Map of field:

This field is just south of      Field #1 and has also been in my boss’s name for a while. This field sees      a crop rotation every year, and also is regularly applied with either      chicken manure or the local dairy manure. This field is on a corn and      soybean rotation and continuously produces a solid stand everywhere. Just      like our previous field the two main soils are cyclone silt loam and      Fincastle silt loam. The drainage class for this area is poorly drained.      This area also has had issues with ponding and there are waterways to help      out with this issue

5. (For field 1 and 2)

These fields are located near Lowes Grain which is 10 miles north in Greensburg, Indiana. Also the crop is often shipped to Poet Grain, and down to the river at Consolidated Grain. The climate is very steady, and tends to usually have the right amount of rain and sunshine to successfully grow rotational crops. This area is very flat, and has seen plentiful harvests.

(Part 2)

These fields are both located within ¼ mile of each other on 900 West just outside of Ltts, Indiana. We are going to go with a corn soybean rotation. Some things we have considered for this choice are past crop rotations and how those yielded. By using the rotational system we are able to create healthier soil, and produce much more proficient yields.

In the first field we have decided to plant corn in this field. Beans were present in this field last year, and by using rotational crops it will allow for much more potential in our yields and farming practices. This field often sees chicken manure yearly, and will often see tillage in the spring, as well as some fall plowing if needed. [page]

In the second field, we have chosen to plant soybeans. As there was corn planted last year we decided upon soybeans to maintain soil health. This field will see dairy manure at about 18,000 gallons/acre. This field tends to produce very good yields, and my projection will be 75-85 bushel beans.

In the first field, the planter will be set at thirty inch rows with the population sitting right at 32,000 per acre. In the second field (soybeans) our bean planter will be set at 15 inch inch rows with the population right around 125,000 per acre.

Both of these fields have great yield potential with manure application, rotational crops to increase yield, and good farming practice.

Field 1

For our first field I have chosen a hybrid from Beck’s hybrids. The specific hybrid I have chosen is the 5909Q. The 5909Q variety has Qroam genetics that help protect against corn rootworm mainly and other insects. This hybrid takes 109 days to maturity which fits our season. This hybrid also has a very good response to Nitrogen and Herbicide with both being a 9 of 9 on the rating. My second choice would be a sister hybrid 5909ZZ which has no treatments and may be a good variety due to the high response rate to nitrogen and herbicides. Another main reason

This field has 80 acres in it which means at 32,000 plants per acre we will need about 2.5 bags per acre and in total we would need 200 bags for the field.

Another one of the main reasons we chose this hybrid over other is the fact that it can adapt to a lot of soil conditions. Overall a very flexible hybrid compared to others.[page]

Field 2

In our second field we have an AsGrow AG35XF1. This Soybean is a great option for this field because of its adaptability in wetter soils which happens to be what we have. It takes 50 days to make it to maturity making it a good choice over others alongside our corn to allow our side dressing to take place. This variety is also a roundup ready soybean. There is a 5 rating on this variety for frog eye leaf spot which is above average on this chart. Frog eye leaf spot is a prominent problem in southern indiana.

I will be planting at a population of 160,000 which puts me at about 1.15 bags per acre and a total 46 bags for the 40 acre field.

My back up hybrid is an AsGrow AG33XF3 this is a similar hybrid to the main. This hybrid has a higher tolerance to sudden death syndrome and southern stem canker.
