Where abouts are you spreading? Outer mongolia:p might be too dry, but if you're in cork or anywhere up the west coast as far as mayo you'd get an economic response, especially if it was being grazed by dairy cows next month.

Jeez, they're always talking of cold spells over there:D

On balance you'd think we are due some more normal weather, but I'd think as long as you don't go mad you'll get a decent benefit, soil temps are above normal at the moment and the nitrogen should be taken up into the plants reasonably quickly.

mongolia is €460 a ton and county louth is €410 a ton for urea.

Ah sure whelan would have loads of money after milking cows all winter, and is probably able to pay cash. No offence but the other price could be 50kg bags and 3 months credit?

i put mine on account:) texted 3 sales reps only 1 came back to me with a price, one of the others said the price is to drop in a few weeks, just got a small bit to keep me going, edited to say that was collected price

djmc

Mine was 50kg bags delivered and 3 months credit also transport costs are high
to outside outer Mongolia

i ordered 2 pallets as up til now there was 1.5 tonne of urea on a pallet, turns out now there is 2 tonne on a pallet of urea! there used to be 4 x 375kg bags on a pallet, so i got 4 tonne rather than the 3 tonne i wanted:cool:

what brand fertilizer is it (gouldings/ grasslands?). that doesnt really suit me as my spinner normally holds either two bags of can or two bags of these .375 bags of urea. even though the urea doesnt way as much the two bags still nearly take up as much room as the two bags of can. id say my spinner could be all out to fit the two bags in without it spilling out :O

will check in the morning what brand

Just curious.... why 0-7-30 now in spring? Would you not spread something like 10-10-20 instead?

Or will you spread the 0-7-30 now and the nitrogen later?
