Knowing how much nitrogen (N) to apply to corn is challenging. Especially in a year like this past year. Ponding of water on a field can denitrify nitrogen. Nitrogen can also be a part of agricultural runoff or leaching past the crop root zone. This year, the wet, rainy weather made the situation more complicated. Did you apply additional N this past year as a sidedress? Did it make a difference? It’s often difficult at the end of the year to know how a sidedress N strategy performed. Setting up an on-farm research test can help you validate and refine your N management approaches in the future.

Natural disasters, such as the recent severe storms and flooding in Nebraska, often lead to extreme stress for families. It is common for people to feel irritable, anxious, helpless and overwhelmed. Tempers may flare during times of stress, affecting relationships in the family. You may feel that you are losing not only material things, but also the support of your family as well.
Problems between couples are typical during times of great stress. No two people are likely to have the same reaction to a situation, so it is not surprising that tension may result from their differing reactions.
