need some more N (10 T ) to finish our grazing season for a grass based dairy herd. usually spread a load of urea first in spring then move onto lithan or similar plus aftercut.
should i buy 28t of AN and store half until may or would i be ok buying a load of urea which seems very competitive to spread half in september ,the rest in march.
will there be high losses spreading urea now to erode any cost advantage, will the grass response be as good with urea instead of AN at this time of year ?
