Here is how I am going to handle the high cost of fertilizer. I quit. I have put up around 5000 small square bales of quality horse hay for thelast 10 years except last years drought cut that to 2000 bales. I put out 300lbs per acre last year and got not much in return. Fertilizer was 350.00 per ton last year. I went to get fertilizer this year and was told that 18 46 0 was $900.00 per ton. I made my decision right then and there. I quit. I will cut the fields to keep them clean, roll up whatever weeds and briars grow and sell it for cow hay. If it is not fit for cow hay I will just bush hog it down to keep it from growing up in briars but I will not pay the high costs of fertilizer and diesel fuel, and work my butt off for very little profit. I think others will follow. The days of the small farmer will soon be over.
