IA/MN/WI | The rebate definitely isn't to the grower, who sold you that bill of goods? Your salesman at the coop? Or are you offended because you are one of those salesmen and your agronomy manager has been lying about how much he is ripping your growers off? I would buy the whole "rebate is to the grower" BS if coops actually paid dividends, but that hasn't happened in over a decade. The kickback is to the retailer, it's not the measly upfront "discount" growers get on Nserve. It's the same story as the massive check the parent company cuts the retailer at the end of the year if you sell their seed brand and push their chem brands. If the retailer sells a corteva brand seed those same sales guys will push corteva chemistry, if they sell bayer seed they push bayer chem, they sell xitavo beans they push BASF chem. Coop retail is a corrupt circus of money changers designed to extract from the farmer and pay zero dividends.
The university of MN has done extensive research on N-zone across the state, including ground on the Lino sand plain that has virtually no organic matter. The state of MN and NRCS recommend it, they are literally the last people that would approve a stabilizer for anhydrous if it didn't work, they do everything possible to stop the use of NH3 in general.
The fact that you don't understand the actual product makeup speaks volumes. "water based"..... that's a fantastic description....what you are implying is that if it isn't horrendously corrosive it doesn't work...
It's a calcium polymer molecule, in essence it artificially increases the CEC of the soil to bind the NH4 to the soil colloids. | |
