Martin says fall rye yields were variable depending on rainfall amounts.

Video of a farm in southern Darke County Ohio putting on pre-plant anhydrous ammonia using their John Deere 8960 Tractor pulling a 19 shank DMI 5250 applicator tool bar and tank. I filmed this mid April 2025. The anhydrous ammonia is a form of nitrogen and will feed the corn they will be planting into this field.
