I use a conical spreader on my tractor's 3 pt. to dispense my fertilizer......got that problem solved.

I just bought the season's fertilizer to have and to beat any price increases probably coming next year.

I have fertilized my summer haygrazer field and covered it with soil....all I have to do this (usually wet) spring is drill in the seed.

I have another field that is Tall Fescue and is well covered and developed making my spring hay harvest. Temperatures are within the growth range and I am getting fall, early winter growth now. I recently ran a heavily weighted, straight alignment discs, over the field to cut roots and open passage ways for fertilizer to get down and to help in holding the fertilizer when the rains come, probably in a week or two, and will fertilize just before the rain.... Urea + P and K). I decided to fertilize now so as to help the crop with early growth rather than waiting till March time line to fertilize. Sound like a plan?
 
Things might be way different in Texas the mn. Here we fertilize as close to when crop needs it as practical. Otherwise the fert runs off with the spring snow melt. I take first cut hay off then fertilize. If I have a very high yield field I will fertilize again after 3rd cut.
 
Rain water over the winter is always a problem in doing what I am doing. Contrast that to soggy fields in the spring that are hard to navigate.....a crap shoot. On my Tall Fescue pasture that was one of the reasons I contour slit the surface.....to get the P and K to the root zone and to minimize runoff. The first field is on flat ground the Fescue is on a slope.
