Who is dumb enough to pay that kind of a premium for esn man the fert companies must laugh at farmers.

[fjlip]

Some of us dumb I guess, any cheaper out there?

Worry when the environmentalists have caused enough waves to have "smart nitrogen" mandated.

I wonder if some guys in the driest areas are thinking how they are going to cover this year's expenses, let alone buy next year's fertilizer 9 month's in advance.

yea it's the shits , but everyone still does it. one saving grace is that some of those dry areas have had crops that were stellar , an anomaly, for their area . I feel bad for the guys north of here that have missed three in a row to that relentless f$&king water .

We had enough rain events that there will be enough of a swath to shove a combine through it. That said, when I am doing plowdown with a Lemken, it is cutting 4 inches deep and its all dry l. I am going through all potholes and low spots, the old tractor doesnt change tone or rpm. I have reclaimed about 45 acres.
That said.......it can all change in a weather event. Usually 2 inches of rain over 5 days in September.......just after swathing.......we cant predict the future. I have sat idle many weeks in september in my career. I have also banded a lot of anhydrous listening to the world series on the radio. Its a crazy living.

why not just use urea or nh3 a a fraction of the cost. Floating is a terribly inefficient way to apply #floatingSUCKs

Looks like you may just be a bit grumpy today! ESN is expensive, in theory has a purpose. It's all about timing. You can put more total n on using ESN and urea without crop going down. We've been using 30% in our blend to try and get a yield and protein bump through n release later in season without another application. All put down at seeding. Believe it to be worthwhile at this point.

What do you find the protein results are for the later nitrogen release of ESN?

I'm hoping like hell some of this year's fert is there for next year... if this pattern holds next year's inputs by necessity will be way down. 0.35" in two "rains" in the last 53 going on 54 days.

Have faith(I'm not "religious") Helms. Hopefully one day the skies will open up and give you a good shot. I think there are alot of areas tapped out of reserve moisture. September can be a rainy pissy month... not always the best for harvest.... maybe this year.
