[QUOTE="Angus Guy, post: 698700, member: 1841"] Ed Your example is flawed because you did not factor in K and P in your millet example. On pasture a 50 units of N is enough. Depending on soil test 40 units of P once a yr is enough. Also depending on soil test your K example of 120 units is also enough. So my thought is apply a 50-40-120 in the spring and be happy. You should apply at least the same amount of P and K on your millet as you do on your pasture. Also $35/a/yr for lime seems to be awfully extreme.In my area I can apply lime for about $19/t. So if my soil test calls for 2t/a my cost is $38/a divided by 4yr of use equals $9.50/a. The $19/t for the lime includes trucking from the quarry,spreading, and the cost of lime. [/QUOTE]
