[QUOTE="fargus, post: 856880, member: 13480"] I sell fertilizer, so I'll try and give you a snapshot. Urea (46-0-0) is retailing at $575/MT, which works out to 55 - 60 cents/lb of actual N. MAP (11-52-0) is roughly $840/MT, and potash (0-0-60) is $675-700/MT. I don't like pricing in units, there is too much confusion that results. I'd much rather spend $8/acre on clover seed than $60/acre on chemical nitrogen. The P and K are dependent on soil test values, and what each customer is trying to achieve. We're building soil at home... a dollar earned today is worth more than one tomorrow, but a tonne of fertilizer value today is much cheaper than one purchased 10 years from now. [/QUOTE]
