No Anhydrous.

Our NH3 supply time is down to the minute. Mind you I can see the fertilizer plant from most of my fields. Suppliers around here pull directly from the plant.

No issues yesterday. Finally got a half decent day in.

Another side effect, our roads are being wrecked in soft spots by anhydrous semis that I suspect are over loaded. Are other roads damaged out there?

What is the price differential this year,
is there still an economic arguement to
using NH3?

[oneoff]

One person stated 4 cents per pound difference.

Conclusion was that it madeeconomic sense for largest farmer consumers; but not necessarily smaller operators.

Probably there is an ongoing shift away from anhydrous. Sounds like on a boardwith 20 present NH3 users; maybe there are an additional two contemplating going to dry next year.

But switch comes at a cost. Urea has acaking problem; and storage requirements, and changeover costs of seeding equipment; and farmer trucking to seeding equipment.

And just as there can be NH3 shortage; you might find it equally difficult to source urea (or phosphate) right now.
And remember that urea is basically made from NH3. Further something as simple as being unable to hire drivers to haul NH3 can be the actual current problem.
And where short suppies get diverted to might depend on who can pull strings. Isn't it so easy to just say that the truck driver didn't show up.

Nobody ever seems to bother to track down why that happened.

When I am empty and the anhydrous truck is not there I make a simple phone call and get told how far away it is most times its just a few miles away. Yes the delivery is surprisingly good. Takes a good dispatcher to organize this. The Rays trucking dispatchers extremely suck compared to the Horizon dispatchers in my opinion. They got a few trucks picking out of the big storage tank east of Watson now to make up. So far since the sprinkles delivery is now good again. Pretty sure I am still ahead using juice. Anyways when a truck is late by a few hours I still seem to have shit to do, never sat on my ass yet.

Usually we get treated as we treat others.

We had great service here...

The guys worked out great.

Cheers!
