Here are the figures for a couple of my fields from the 2013 spreadsheets. This is the per acre cost of chemical in bulk totes. The Optima and Selectmax were in 2 1/2 gallon jugs. This year I might throw in Calisto in the corn herbicide mix for better grass control. We'll see what the weather does.

CORN

Tripleflex-------------15.50

Optima-----------------2.16

Roundup Wmax-------6.12

TOTAL-----------------23.78

BEANS

Glyphosate-------------8.50

Optima------------------2.16

Selectmax (Optional)--5.16

Roundup Wmax--------7.25

TOTAL------------------23.07

I use my own sprayer but I charge the spreadsheet the custom spray rate. I don't know if I do it any cheaper after figuring in $30,000 for the sprayer purchase, upkeep and tractor expense but I get it done when I want and I know my fields. (editorial comment) Jim
