Fall banding

[Hopalong]

October fast approaching, time to think about banding nitrogen.
Old advice was to wait for mid-month, newer says sooner is okay if soil temps are not too high.
Wondering what to do with areas where soil became water logged June and July, foxtail barley took over, most of it now glyfosate sprayed.
Keep thinking these areas will return to production but, after so many wet years, just about ready to give up on them.

Any areas that are flooded/logged this yr. we shut the N off in those spots..

Start Oct 1st. every yr..days are short even if its warm..usually cold night temps..

I wonder if it's a push by industry to phase out NH3? Put the cost of delivery and tank rental up so its not attractive. It's a lot easier for a dealer to rail or truck loads of urea in. No need for extra safety bs and scads of b trains out there to move it. Ammonia you need special tankers and storage. Urea you can sell and move to on farm storage anytime and not have to worry about it. It's a matter of time before it'll be phased out.

......tillage and burning
......fall applied banded nitrogen
......floating on expensive "$table" nitrogen

Looks like we've come full circle!

Plus the safety factor and the SMELL, cancelled NH3 in 1991, never looked back. Too wet here and tough to get a seal and NOT lose gas to the heavens.

Nh3 still has a place. Fall banding as well. Here, fall can be a pia.
Personally, since going liquid, i'd quit before i went back.

Ya and 36 cents for 46-0-0. That's a lot extra for "service".
