Yup, that's howe it's done here also. There are some private dealers, & some coop dealers, often the same office as buys grain, etc. They have all different options, from delivering it, you pick it up, or even bagging it (for more $$$) & throwing it on your pickup if you want. Depends on how they do things where you are. I would put it on before planting, work it into the ground soon (in hours, not days) so that it goes into the ground and doesn't evaporate into the air. All it takes is a field cultivating or disking, some such. If you are using a clover or alfalfa mix, might want to wait a couple days to plant, but generally you don't have to esp with just grass seed. I know some mix in the seed with the fert & broadcast it all at once, drag or cultipack it & you're done. There are different sources of N, and each has a differentr % of actual N. Like, if you get a product that is 46% N, then you'll have to put on a little more than twice of what you need in weight, to get the actual N you need. If you would need any P or K, then they would blend together the best products to get as close as they can to what you need. In your case with only needing N (surprising?) N is N, so go with what is cheap. Oh, there is also a liquid available (getting to be very popular with corn pop-up fertilizing) that would work for you too, but probably more difficult for you to apply & probably a bit more costly. --->Paul
