Re: Anyone Buying Fertilizer?
I have inquired prices down significantly from last year but not enough to be profitable at the low commodity prices. Have not pulled the trigger but probably will on 50% of my 2017 needs shortly after Jan1, gotta get something on the books. Good Luck!

Re: Anyone Buying Fertilizer?
I bought 28% back in September for December delivery. 161/Ton
Had potash spread on bean stubble that went into wheat in October. Just a hair under 400 if I remember correctly. But I'm in the east with a +.85 corn basis 😀

Re: Anyone Buying Fertilizer?
Chickens and turkeys are a big thing about an hour south of me sw. We have varied soils and a lot of rocks, but it pays pretty well to farm around here if you keep good records and know a little about what your land can do. Fuel is my biggest expense as I have to truck beans 2.5 hours and wheat about 3. Sleeping in the truck is my vacation away from the wife!

Re: Anyone Buying Fertilizer?
Is the "poop" in DC just too hot for the soil? 🙂
I also envy the location, but I am sure there are a lot of issues involved in doing business in the "east coast" population. That is a long way to go for an initial market... We sometimes deliver it that far to get away from our market.
Good to read your thoughts again..
