you really have to feed that sandy soil, lots of it around here, its hungry.That's sand as deep as you want, the ground won't hold or build any fertility, so no, 40 units of N and some slurry isn't excessive at all. 10 ton fresh 1st cut draws a lot of nutrition and needs replacing on hungry ground
our new organic neighbour, after ridiculing the suggestion it was hungry ground, just might learn this year, good crop for 2 years, on slurry only, crap this spring, despite lots of slurry.
we can pile as much slurry as you want on it, just eats it up, and asks for more. And the fecking stuff dries out quickly.
