anyone on spreading fert

[franklin]

Think we will be getting some on next week. Over half an inch of wet in a few hours a couple of days ago have been a pain, but dries up quick at 12 degrees. Once soil warms up it will dry even quicker.

Need to get some mop on but I'm not making a mess.

 

[franklin]

Would like to take the sprayer out on the OSR with a bit of muck, magic and the like, so would follow behind with the spreader. I'll make a spot of mess to get some on the barley but wont be reversing into the corners.

Crops look well, so not crying out for fertiliser, helped by nearly every field getting a dose of pig muck or fym and hence P and K indices are mostly 3 and 4s.
I'm a first time Urea user though, so need advice on when to get it on. earlier by all accounts!

2 weeks earlier. If for a spring crop, then in the seedbed. Recent appalling fortnight has made the cereals look sad.

Hope I'll be ok. I've got some AN with sulphur and straight N for later in the season, but the offer of Urea at £180 Ton in September with February payment , was too good to miss.
That was with Nidera btw. Have I mentioned that my daughter is now a farm trader with them, if anyone wants a quote

I'd have liked to have that quote last September, if you can arrange it.

I've gone back to AN too, but only as the price was reasonable. Certainly would have been happy enough to carry on with urea if the it had stayed cheap.

Oops sorry. She's still my little girl and trying to give her a leg up. Just waiting for some of you miserable bees to place an order!!

 

[bankrupt]

I saw your link to the reservoir level

Yes, apologies - that was on another thread.

At my age one can get so quickly confused.

Do they buy anything ?

Yes. They are primarily grain traders, just breaking into selling seed and fertiliser.
Pm me your email address and I'll forward you their market report

all combinable crops rec some n today apart from an off lying block thats on wetter ground but with luck will be a goer next week.In old money 40 units/ac urea, interestingly, its been along time since I can remeber the cost of the urea in units converted to /ton against blue bag being near the future price of wheat in a years time

Was out scaring pigeons today on the quad only to see some waste of space driving around our zero-till second wheat fields in a 4x4. By the time I got over there he was gone. Expected to see a big mess where he had been out onto the road, but actually not too bad. Field traveled very well. Now getting itchy about spreading. Windy week next week though.

He's lucky he escaped without a smack in the chops!

Had motorbikes on our wheat recently, quite annoying.

Or I am lucky I escaped without a smacking. Hare coursers assaulted one farm worker on a farm near us last week. There's some nasty groups around at the moment.
