Fuggin country is blowing away here today. 75km winds and my neighbour to the south has 3000 acres pro-tilled like a garden. Fuggin organic farmers….

I remember when it was skills to make a straight line. This Gps stuff has taken all the fun out of the coffee shop ribbing when a guy would be falling asleep and leave about a 5 foot gap.

When they came out every farmer had to have one here it was the dumbest thing ever guys protillinf there whole fields snd then then it would all blow away or come spring tbe cracks in the ground would be so huge you would be seeding into huge lumps and clumps not a good soil bed. Only use for them is fixing ruts but hey my 5000 dollar 8foot wide disc does that to.

It’s to make your field look pretty in the spring after having yet another wreck the year before. It’s an organic farmers way of justifying poor farming practices.

Hardly any one using NH3 here in our area anymore. We’ve seen supply issues in the past and guys are finding they can prepurchase their dry fertilizer when the price is lower instead of paying through the nose at the spring season. Lots of us have purchased hopper bins to store it, buy early and the money saved from mid summer to spring covers the cost of the bins. Heard about 5 yrs ago as well that the government was talking about banning it saying it was too dangerous a product to handle by farmers. Sounds like something pinhead would come up with.

Just got back from Manitoba and NH3 is everywhere out there.

There’s definitely places that use lots of NH3. Huge down in the corn belt where they put a couple hundred pounds of actual N down. It’s 82% readily available N to urea at 46% so you have to use way more urea to get the actual N. Some neighbours switched over to dry their complaint is it takes another guy and truck to keep up to 2 drills with 550 tanks where the ammonia was delivered and they weren’t filling every 70-80 acres. Trade offs on both sides but I can’t see ammonia going anywhere as it’s pretty much a bi product of making urea so they have to do something with it. All I know is all of it is way over priced! Safe seeding folks hoping for huge crops.

We got 4 tenths of an inch. Might be enough to get the dry land crops germinated.

We are aways normally mich cheaper with nh3 compared to dry. We have hoppers for the sulphur and phos blends but we prepurchase our nh3 in decemeber and on a “normal” year we save quite a bit over dry

What was the difference in pre buying and market price on nh3 this year?

Anywhere from 12-20 cents but nh3 nearly trippled in price over last year, normal year may save 5-10 cents by prebuyin last year was under 50 cents a pound full delivery this year 1.30-1.50 a pound a unjustified increase
