Subject: Re: applying fertilizer on snow


Devils Lake, ND
32% salts out in the mid to low 20's FWIW. NDSU did a urea timing trial in Carrington a few years back. Urea on top of the snow was similar to fall-applied, and poorer than spring. Dave Franzen recommends against winter nitrogen for that reason. I should note, the snow and ground don't melt until some time in March. That said, there is always some done around here, and those guys are still farming.

$60 a ton is $0.094 per unit of actual. At that kind of premium, I would be very happy to pay it and wait till spring.
