Local fertilizer prices have fallen some here as well recently. Urea is around $475/ton, Phosphate is at $840/ton and Potash is $880/ton. Still high but down from the summer time high of last year. To supplement my fertilizer I am applying horse manure to my hay fields to help offset my fertilizer costs. I have a way to load and haul the manure from a local horse farm to my farm. They are more than happy to get rid of it since they just pile it up in behind their barn. I imagine I still will have to buy fertilizer but not as much as in the past with me applying manure. As long as fertilizer prices are above $500/ton it is worth it in my mind to apply manure. The only thing I have to pay for is the fuel to haul and spread the manure.</p>slouderbackWed, 14 Jan 2009 08:46:05 -0000
