Are you planning on working the urea in or just spreading on top? If not incorporated, you need to time it right before a rain or add a stabilizer like Agrotain. Otherwise you can lose a good portion of your N to volatilization. Agrotain adds about $.06/# to the cost of the urea. If you go with urea try and spread it as late as possible. Spreading urea early like a month before planting can really hurt you depending on weather.
