Archer Iowa
I stopped using it 16 years ago. Got a good smell of the stuff when unhooking the tank when empty. Hear to many stories of guys getting it on themselves and how it burned. The water packs on the tanks where not always filled or the hoses were plugged. Then was told by a really good chemist that helps make alot of the stuff the industry uses today that for each pound of NH3 that you put on it ties up 2.1 pounds of water soluable calcium. What i am using now does not burn if you get some on you or rust equipment. 20 to 25 gallon per arce so it is less gallons than 28%. It will not leach away. Soil works up better now, better roots,less N needed to grow the crop, better stalk quality. Can be used in many different ways. I am surprises that there is only one other person that is using a product somewhat like I am in this day of advanced techonagly.
