What do you mean? Spend my "money on that or not" as opposed to what? Do you recommend another, simplier, cheaper formula?
This one comes to $260/ton (that's probably not cheap but it's the cheapest around here - that I know of at least).
Thanks
At last week's prices that mix would be $210 a ton here. Here is what the OSU calculator says:
