@AllamFarmer Did you just flip into new ones? Or go with something else?

We started cross fencing in 2019 and put a water line through this block in 2021, without it we wouldn’t have been able to make the change in grazing that we wanted. First photo is from end of July in 2020 and the next three were taken yesterday in the same paddock. 🌾🚀🚀

@Denny2point0 We have gone before bolting previous years. We had enough N on to get us through bolting so we weren’t in a rush this year to get it on. Putting it on the leaf can help you be a bit more flexible on timing as the plant takes it in so quickly

@ArnstAg @marrettfarms Most Canadian urea manufacturers produce low biuret urea. Used lots of urea from Yara at Belle Plain. We don’t use anything that has been on a train or through a retailers plant. Want it as clean as possible.

@marrettfarms Low biuret urea and warm water! We do approximately 830 gal of water with 2204lbs of urea. That gets us a total of 1000 gal of solution. We will spray it on at 5 gal or 10 gal

@DrewCardy We use it as a tool to split up our nitrogen. We can reduce what goes down in the drill and if it doesn’t rain we won’t apply it. It has a 4.2 to 1 efficiency compared to applying N through the soil

@wooffwayne Using melted urea gives you 4.2 to 1 efficiency compared to 28. It gets sprayed with fan nozzles so the plant takes it in through the leaf rather than roots. 5 gal of this blend gives us 5 lbs of actual N

@mcrae_brett @Syngenta @canterraseeds Okay that’s very interesting. We do one pass of 10 gal on cereals/canola about 10 days after herbicide. Do you cut herbicide rate when putting melted urea with it? I’ve heard of possibly cutting 30%?
