That's good point. Time for new math.

33lbs p2o5/ton x 2 ton = 66 lbs p2o5. 66lbs p2o5 =129 lbs of MAP. $700/ton map x 129 lbs = $45.15/ac

54lbs k2o/ton x 2 ton = 108lbs k2o. 108lbs k2o = 180lbs of potash. $600/ton potash x 180lbs = $54/ac

20lbs S/ton x 2 tons = 40lbs S. 40lbs S = 166lbs of AMS.
$400/ton AMS X 166lbs = $33.20/ac

That makes $132.35/ac. Suddenly it's not a smoking deal. It's still not terrible since I haven't done calcium, magnesium or micros. Plus application. Plus all the other goodies that come with manure.
