Nitrogen from 250 pounds of urea will run $65.00 an acre at last Friday's price. Its climbing every day.
If you fertilize at corn use rate rather than soil test figure on $80 for P and $90 for K though that should be plenty high. After all, the soil can provide some of the P and K you need. Most of these inner bluegrass soils never need P fertilization. Lime is the other variable. Even at 20.00 a ton its cheap if you need it and will more than pay in the first year in P and K release.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
