You are correct about Yara with the if it’s not right it goes out bit................
Out the factory with a different label on it;)

Had some bags of actyva 16-15-15 one year where they had to put labels in the liners with the correct analysis of 15-14-14.

Reassuring that the do this though and price was reduced accordingly. Never too pleased when I put 2 bags of origin 25-5-5 blend in the spreader and one is largely white & the other brown. Happens fairly regularly:(
Check the colours of the bag loops, same blend will have matching colour loops.

Think the whiter stuff has an as the main N source, the darker stuffs N source is an imported compound iirc. But they should not have been sent out on the same load. Impossible to apply evenly through a spreader when two different densitys and flow rates. I would have kicked up.

Although maybe bias.... Much of what's said in this I hadn't thought of before. It's almost the same as a fertiliser manufacturer explained in a demo, they also spoke about blended fert being more likely to shatter on meeting spreader vains.

Long time Yara user here, only ever striped by driving too wide.
