What fertilizer is best for commercial use (Corn, soybeans, etc.) within the United States?
My apologies if the answer to this is somewhere else on the forums, but I'm interested in knowing the best type of fertilizer- as asked in the subject. By best I mean cost vs. yields, and by type I mean controlled/extended/sustained vs. instant release fertilizer. I understand the pros and cons of each specific type, but what is the most commonly used on a large scale and why? If you need me to elaborate please just ask!
Regards,
Nate

Thank you, Shaggy. That's definitely a good start and gives me some good personal insight. Thank you for your time. That's all I'm looking for - opinions from those with experience and in the know ("been there done thats"). This is simply being asked for personal research reasons, I will not be actually putting the information I'm given to physical use! With that being said, I want everyone to feel free to share their opinions..I just want ideas - no answer is wrong! Again, I appreciate your time and help!

I Think that for somebody from Kansas --- Shaggy did a pretty good job on his post --
Here in Indiana - the cheapest form of N would be NH-3 -- But i use 28% - on farm storage and the safety of product main reasons .
I think for you to answer your question - this would be more of a region deal - as for us - we get a lot of product from barges on the Ohio - the cheapest form of freight then rail then trucks .
Good luck
