Can you expand. I'm livestock no crops only grassCan is a bad buy
In my opinion it’s shite. Buy some proper nitrogen and put some lime on if it’s needed it will be cheaper. CAN is the dearest fertiliser available. What’s worrying is the same firm were trying to offload CAN onto me in April. They might have had my best interests at heart but I’m not convinced. Maybe more folk have realised what it’s value is.Can you expand. I'm livestock no crops only grass

What are you wanting to do?
All livestock here too.
Stockbooster 25 5 5 + sulphur and Selinium for grazing
21 8 11 + sulphur new 52 for silage are my choices
They keep telling me that Can works faster, it doesn’t reduce ph as much as other fertilisers and it’s not as bad for staggers but I’m not convinced it’s a good buy
No idea!how does it work quicker ???
Where are you based?No idea!
It doesn’t any of the other things they say so probably doesn’t work quicker either!
Put Stockbooster on a few weeks earlier and it will work quicker anyhow
Yes we cant buy an because it's good for making bombs. Its can or ureaWhere are you based?
@zsnotdead is in northern Ireland..
An at £206 equals 59.7p per kilo n.
Can at £166 equals 61.4p per kilo n.
Not much in it really.
My independent keeps telling me CAN Is the best, what do you do
Maybe @An Gof is his agronomistAsk them hard questions as to why buying AN and some lime occasionally isn’t a far cheaper way of doing this. This is the most expensive form of calcium!

Do you get someone to spread your fert for free?Especially when you consider the benefit of the lining effect. Always used to say down here that a bag of N applied was a bag of lime lost. So if lime is £30/t delivered and spread thats a £30 benefit to the CAN per tonne of AN applied.

Who is this person?
An Gof isn't wrong as such. Yes, AN does acidify soil. AS even more so. It will vary a lot with with soil type so there's no hard rule here. My pH 8.3 chalk will never become acid - frankly I'd sooner reduce the pH so I don't lose so many nutrients to lock up. I'm just saying there's more to this than CAN being the answer to managing soil. A good urea would be less acidifying, cheaper & suitable for most applications. I don't see the fascination with a by-product of the explosives industry.
