[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 512831, member: 694"] Neighbor an I were discussing fertilizer cost and hay production this year. The thought came up on buying urea at 500 a ton which is cheapest fertilizer we have priced. Fertilize the hay fields with less ton's but as much N as normal as past years. Urea is 46% N the most pounds you can get per ton. This will produce lower quality hay and supplement protien through liquid feed. For the first time is looks to be cheaper to supplement protien than produce quality hay. With low quality hay you have the roughage to fill them up. As the price of oil continues to climb so will fertilizer cost. Toss this one around. Edit current price per ton for liquid supplement is 240 a ton. [/QUOTE]
