Last year none went on. This lot is getting spread at 455kg/ha. Now some rain to wash it in would be nice.

The rain is coming next week mate,
I'll be down your way weaning might drop a ya txt for a hunt.
That's a massive dump of fert, ours is going at moment, 250kg/ha
Ditto on the volume, I take it that they haven't had much put on them in the last few years?
I looked at the title to this thread and thought it was about me bull shitting but no it really is about fertiliser application.
hope you get some significant rain soon @Dundee
Hilltops are just just starting to dry off up here now too
yeah as you can see sweet f all grass.
Hell, thats a lot.
Not as much as 3tonne/square metre:o

Job done then Dundee.
Its that from Ballance, loving you guys keeping me in business, keep spreadingit!:cool:
Do they have the tiered pricing system for applying the fert? Tell him where you want it and at what rate and leave him to it $X, you want to watch and make comments $X + 20%, ...
And about 50% will work, the rest will lockup in the soil as it combines with other elements, so Im told?
whats the cartage and from where? Whats the spread rate? I might be getting ripped off.:oh noes: They lost over half a tonne somewhere it didn't bloody arrive on the farm and got the bill for that last night too. Brads
Another company quoted $98 per tonne to cart,told them where to go.
Inlaws charge varying amounts depending on terrain and distance to travel, one farm they work on is jst over hundy km from fert store, flat terrain and its $45 per ton carted and spread. Thats with about 20 ton in trailer and 5 or so in truck.
Stuff that is say within 10 to 15km of store can be as low as $30 per ton. Even ther roughest furthest stuff isn't over $50. These are all roundabout figures but are pretty close to being on the money. Like I say all depends on terrain and distance.
Cheers subs might have to some investigating.
Boron 60kg/Ha over plantation Redwoods from memory, circa 2009.

Thats spreader and twin side tipper trailer loads, unsure what bulky and spread only would be.
If you want let me know your distance and time from store, product, aplication rates and area. How much normally comes at a time etc and I will ask few questions when I go in for a coffee next week.
Depends what you're applying, If you apply nitrogen onto wet soil a large chunk of it disappears into the atmosphere.
Phosphate will lockup but will eventually be available, unless you're a typical farmer and only use super-phosphate.
Most nutrients get bound to clay particles but unless they leach out the tend to just stay there, only time they actually lockup is with extreme pH when forms of rust make them unavailable
