I started looking at the summer fill program once corn rallied a $1 -1.5,once it got close to $8 I locked in about half of my needs.
Talked with my local fert man this week, he said prices had only went up 10-20 per ton since the summer price with NO RAINS in the upper Midwest,he figures if it starts raining in the upper mid west prices will sky rocket..... Locally its almost all dry spread, we have a terminal center railing it up from gulf for $70ish a ton and trucking short distances out of there. My closest place to pull NH3 tanks is about 27 miles away. We've had a couple of nasty's with NH3 up here so its kinda died out.....

I am not going to use any nitrogen. I think my sixth year of continuous beans can get by without it! LMAO! John

bought and paid for 28% in June at $285.00, last load delivered Wednesday. I think I did good. I was told if i wanted more the price would be in the upper $300s. That was farm fill on 16 loads

Speaking for myself, I bought most of my N and P needs back in July.

Bought Urea in Sept. for $560.00/ton. Up here at the headwaters of the big river it has dryed up.
