    whats the cartage and from where? Whats the spread rate? I might be getting ripped off. 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.

    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.

    Oh ok I thought that was cartage was from Vegas mate.
    Our price is cartage from waipuk, 40k I guess.
    Our rate was 250kg/ha yours was 450? higher rate is a lot cheaper.
    Id guess our cartage is $10 a ton which makes your spreading price even higher.

    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
