Any one checked on fertilizer prices for summer plots?
I checked today and got a price of bulk triple 17 at over $500 a ton!
Deers iron and clay peas are going to have to make do with 1/2 what I normally put out.

Ouch!.......

Is that a satchel or bagged?

You may be able to find just a whole of of fertilizer at certain times too. Shortages are real but by fall maybe it’ll free back up

bagged and opened and put in buggy for spreading.

History tends to repeat itself.

Clay peas don’t need much fertilizer anyhow

Recent soil test recommended 40 lbs of Phosphorus for IC Peas. My K levels were very high. pH was 6.3.

If you mix with Sorghum or Sunflowers you could use 18-46-0, I'd need 100 lbs per acre. Recently quoted $23/50 lbs bagged.

So far I have paid $580 and $545/ton for 17-17-17.Have seen it for $625/ton.

I’m blessed to have chicken litter close by I don’t miss the days of buying 17-17-17.

I called today to check on price of 17-17-17 and it was $16.75 a bag.

At 300# per acre which isn’t much plant food at all that’s only $100 per acre. Ouch

That’s crazy ain’t it.

In 20 years of doing what I do I’ve never seen fertilzer prices double fast as they have

That's why I am doing a rotation. Cereal grains/brassicas in the fall, and beans/peas in the spring. Each provides what the other needs. And I only put 0-20-20 on clover, peas and beans. But my soil test said I didn't need much of it.

I called to get prices for my food plot orders and the guy says they change every week.

Was quoted $710/ton for triple 17 today in Montgomery. Damn

I'm seriously considering not planting

It's only money, gotta do what you gotta do. Not planting is not an option for my old green field hunting, shooting house sitting arse. A few hundred extra dollars ain't gonna make or break me

Dang - is it going to keep going up? I May buy mine tomorrow and let it sit in the garage till time

Already got my seed
