Fertilizer prices

[rjbovine]

Local Co-op 0-0-60 360.00 , 18-46-0 465.00 , 45-0-0 351.00. . They are recommending 200 potash , 100 diamouiam phosate , 150 urea . Shooting for 4 ton of fescue per acre . May not be enough fertilizer to cover what the crop will use but close. I think I could buy hay cheaper . What are you seeing in your area ? Thanks for reading .RJ

I haven't checked on prices but I know that the amount I spend on fertilizer will be less this year. I have a lot of carryover hay and unexpected expenses. Factor in lower prices and fertilizer was the second cut. Improvements was the first cut.
