All these are based on what I know about here in West KY.
1- Depends.
Pasture, if N is going to be put on in the fall it needs to go on just after the first rain in Sept. so the fescue can use it to get a good bit before it gets cold. P and K can go on in the fall and will not leach out as bad, but if your soil is realy sandy every thing is going to leach.
Row crop, only thing that is put on here in fall is lime so it can react with the soil over winter.
2- You don't see much cow manure spread here because we do not have any confinement operations. Only thing you see here is people who feed on a concrete pad will scrape it off and spread in spring. Assume'n that it works the same as broiler litter here, we put alot of broiler litter on year round. Best time to do it is in the fall, worked in. The N in it is organic N and is in a slow release from. It will not leach out over winter like urea or NH3 will. The down side of this is there is alot more avalible in the spring because thats when most people do a total clean out of the houses.
3- Historically, fall. Toss that out the window, with the cash price of corn at or below cost of production right now there is not a very big demand for fertilizer and oil is drop'n like a rock. If your co-op bought a few barge loads of high dollor imputs this summer thinking that $7 corn was here for good and won't come off the price, find a new supplier.
4- Not sure. Every one here went to 30's about 20 years ago to get a faster canopy. Now with RR corn, that is not as big a deal. Population depends on soils and hybrid. The hybrid I used this year had tag on the bag that recomended a 29 to 33000 population.
5- I have no idea. Test plot info should be come'n out pretty soon in your area. If nothing else, ask around the coffie shops.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
