[QUOTE="David., post: 6907127, member: 67"] I will go against the grain and admit to having gone back to AN this year. I backed my hunch that following the wettest winter I can remember, would come a dry spring, and late drilled poorly rooted crops. I am currently still glad that I did. This thin brash soil is not well served by having the frequently occurring 6 weeks of no or minimal rain in spring, and the misery of watching starving crops looking at urea laid on the surface I can manage without. Add in busy lambing in late Feb/early March, and it is all too easy to get caught out and miss the necessary rain to wash it in. I believe that chucking a 90kg/N slug of urea on as soon as you can travel in February, (or as soon as is legal), is the best way to use it here. That way the crop will have enough N available to see it through the spring drought until now. [/QUOTE]
