Priced potash this morning for fall application - $650. Up $25 from spring.

P is a different story - $1045/t.

He said to me, "This is not the time to build your P levels".

Can’t even price fertilizer for spring here, they’ll take your money for prepay but they won’t tell you what that’ll buy you until spring. One of the two local suppliers won’t even tell you the price if you order a load to spread today, you’ll find out the price when you get the bill at the end of the month.

Depends on the mood of farmers after this yr. Are guys gung ho to go for it again, or are some horns going to be pulled in. All major crops are hovering in the $20+ range and likely to carry into 2022.

Thats probably too much money to not roll the dice again.

Regarding fert, I am going to wait until spring to buy.
If Northern Nutrients imports as advertised that will surely make a difference.
High US dollar now, spring who knows where it will be.

Whats the point of soil testing? If you found you were in an excess nutrient situation would you really back off next yr? That just creates another problem down the road.

Short answer "yes".

I have been applying phos at consumption + for a few years now... If they're going to hose the shit out of me next year, I might take a serious look at products like "jumpstart". Do they even make that product anymore?

As far as the N component is concerned, If there is ample N there from last year (laid down as 100% ESN at seeding) I'll be certainly dialing back on the N laydown. You can't bank that stuff nearly as effectively as you can P or even S(if applied in elemental form).

It may very well unnerve alot of guys that either mid-rowed or side banded significant amounts of Urea, to find out that even though there is a garbage crop, the N that they put down is all gone. Not saying that it will have definitely gassed off, but if it sat in hot dry soil for most of the summer, and crops weren't able to use it, I'd certainly test to see if it's actually still there or not.
