    Anyone else been asked to provide a mugshot because you have bought fertiliser?

    As above really, text came through this afternoon asking for a 'farmers photo' I rang my dealer (a lady) immediately and without preamble she said "No, I don't want an unclothed picture" I am tempted to use one of a celebrity as we have never met and I don't want to shatter her delusions.

    Fertiliser questions

    Iv a few fields sowed with 70kg of nitrogen an acre. How long would they take to be ready to cut without any risk off cutting too early ? And also I see lots mention units per acre sowed, how many units are in a kg to know for future use ? Sorry for such small questions
