That is correct on 60 now and the rest later. Just hoping the fertilizer cost will come down some by then.

Thanks for the input. I think I am going to do just the lime on that part of it (the ph was 5.0) and wait a bit for it to start to kick in some. Our growing season here is pretty much always. If I can get some N on some of the rest of it I will be able to graze it in 2-3 weeks. A good portion...

Actually lime isn't that cheap here, except in comparison to fertilizer. Lime spread is anywhere from $47-50 per ton. I don't think it has went down a penny. Fertilizer is drifting down. I got two quotes on fertilizer (60-60-0) and there was almost a $200 difference between the two...

Just pulled some soil test. Results called for 1 1/2 ton of lime, 100# N and 60# Phosphorus and 0 potash on Gulf rye grass. Due to fertilizer cost, lime cost and poor cattle prices what would be best? I am thinking that the fertilizer will not due much good because of the lime shortage. It will...

Matt I asked the same question some time ago and I got one response. I would like to know more about it myself. The concept makes sense but so does some things you hear from a physic........ :tiphat:

At he local Wal Mart I figured the price to actually be $.005 per # cheaper than buying at the BULK rate and purchasing 3-4 ton. There is one difference though ( I think I am right on this) there is no tax on that purchased at the fertilizer dealer or at the least the tax is less than regular...

He said he used it on is hay but didn't say how many acres. Hope he answers your question, I am thinking it might save a trip by spraying 2, 4-D at the same time

Skeptical is what I was thinking but it is worth checking out. Bluestem says it works for him :?:

I tried some of the mixed stuff this year and I am very unhappy with it. Conditions have to be too close to perfect for it to come up ahead of the weeds. If he did just the plain rye grass I think he would be better. The way this winter has been so far who knows what the temps may be in May

I noticed these people advertising on the Cattle Today website. Does anyone have any experience using it? How does it relate to granular. Looking for any alternative to the high price stuff. I have never used any type of liquid fertilizer so I guess how does it compare to other liquids? Just as...

17-17-17 is $440 a ton here in South Alabama

Update. For those who are in the right areas (Alabama for one) it looks like the pasture insurance is going to be about $2 per acre. That covers a period of about 6 months from February 1, until July 31. Supposed to have a final quote today. This would be for up to a 90% coverage (extreme...

Here are the program highlights: In response to the drought conditions that plagued the State of Alabama this past summer, the USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA) has recently expanded a pilot insurance program to cover hay and grazing land in the state for the 2008 crop year. This program...

Haven't got those answers yet either.

Alabama has implemented a program for insuring pasture against drought. Does anyone have the cost associated with this type of insurance? The deadline is Nov 30 and I am wondering if it would be beneficial considering the current circumstances in the Southeast.

It is a cool season grass so you will probably look to plant no earlier than October 1st unless your in north Texas then maybe the last week of September. The broadcast will be slow to come up as well so you will likely not get any grazing out of it until late November or December. At least...

Around here they have a new name for pasture land. It is called "subdivision" and what was pasture now grows houses and it has been selling for as much as $30,000 per acre

Over 2 days we wound up with 1 1/2 inches in South Baldwin county. Grass is screaming thank you....

Once we get enough...I will send it your way

So far about 1/2 to 3/4 inch on the farm and over an inch in town where no cows to eat the grass.More expected tonight and tomorrow
