From what I see and hear & understand, foliar applications can work on very special high dollar crops if your soil is already well fertilized.
In general, the foliar application will make your hay look real nice green for a week so you feel good about it.
But it tends to be the most expensive way to fertilize, and you generally get a very low amount of fert.
As someone else said, I just paid for about $240 an acre of fert for next spring, applied to corn ground. Ganular, will be about 400lbs an acre, about 200lbs of that is real fert.
You are are getting 6 lbs - about 3lbs of actual fert - for $16 an acre.
I think mine $240 is going to be much much cheaper than your $16, for what we each get.
The P & K you applied in past years likely is still mostly in your ground, so it wasn't a total waste.
