I think you'll get your planting done faster with the liquid due to faster turn around times, not speed in the field. I'd hate to think of loading bagged dry fertilizer into a planter so that means a fertilizer tender (not cheap) vs a tank and a pump (cheap). Liquid fertilizer will be more immediately available to the plant. That's important because the planter delivers the starter fertilizer. I have my dry fertilizer(for corn) spread in the fall based on GPS soil test grids that the spreader adjusts for. Then liquid at planting time followed by more dry and foliar when corn is 8-10' tall. You'll be making a mistake if you try to put it all on at planting time. I put on somewhere between 10 and 20 gallons per acre at planting time based on soil analysis and the kind of yield I shoot for. About 200 bpa. PS. If you go liquid I recommend a piston pump, not squeeze.
