Some farmers found out that they can now skip the nitrogen on the beans at least once bc it was too high and they went without last year. Yields still respectable considering the cost savings.

Usually no nitrogen is applied on soybeans except what is in MAP or DAP fertilizer that whichever is a small amount. The only time I know you would put N on soybeans is if you were going for very high yield like to win a contest. Beans are a legume. Farmers certainly skipped dry map application when it is expensive.

Yep you're correct it wasn't N on the beans it was that stuff.
