I long for the days of cheap fertilizer

[redrobin]

I ran across this picture. Man that cheap fertilizer sure was nice.

 

[Andy]

How much did you put on that?

 

[gcreekrch]

Looks to me like the rain melted one of them BSing buckeroos right down to his hat! :wink:

 

[redrobin]

I don't remember Andy. One year we had the fertilizer truck set on lime speed. That might have been the year. I remember it happened in that field.

Gcreek , kind of like the wicked witch in the wizard of oz?

Maybe. Whatever melting process occurred it sure made the grass come on. :wink:

I remember when Dad fussed about Nitrate of Soda costing $20 per ton.

That was back in the day when we spread it with an EZEE-FLOW. :shock:

We always used a ton or two of Guano in the garden. That stuff would make some Okra. :lol:

 

[HAY MAKER]

straight Nitrogen $358/ton here.
good luck

 

[redrobin]

If I remember we were applying 400lbs of 19-19-19 and ended up applying double that.

You might have to quit growing okra and save your money for fertilizing grass. :lol: :lol:

good to hear from you

have a cold one

We just paid out $1400 to fertilize 20 acres with a mix of nitrogen and phosporous. And people in the area wonder why a large round bale is now going as high as $85.

It's about $400 a ton here. I have'nt spread fertilizer in 5 years or more.Other than on some new seeding and it was mixed with oats and grass seeds blow on with a rogator. I'm looking at 40 acres of reed canary meadow about 30 is hayable they want $750 an acre. I'm going to offer $400 to start with we'll see if I get it bought. I'd rather own the land than buy fertilizer. That old peat ground will put out 150 1100# bales without any inputs.

 

[Northern Rancher]

A good peat meadow is pretty productive for sure-nothing buiold character like putting out a groundfire in one.

 

[alabama]

I put out 15-10-30 at $500 a ton spread. The plan is for first applaction to be 70 units of N , 50 units of P, and 150 units of K.. The second applaction in mid to late June is to be 70 units of N and 100 units of K. on hay fields.
