The last time I was out was the week before the heavy snow so it got a few days of dry weather probably about 4. Couldn't believe the difference dohWhen was the urea spread?
Did you get dry days after

A nice difference here between ground that got 35 units and ground that did not, also have fields that got just slurry about the 1st of feb, serious response to the slurry, more than the urea. I'll be going with more Wednesday to catch the rain, plan to get the wheat done too in case it gets dry.
I've noticed that with the slurry too, Not sure why.A nice difference here between ground that got 35 units and ground that did not, also have fields that got just slurry about the 1st of feb, serious response to the slurry, more than the urea.

The first slurry i spread is really showing now but only in terms of greenness but I'd expect it to drive on with a bit of heat, spread urea a week ago and had a few kg's left in the spreader that I hit part of a paddock with, I'll be watching that with interest to see how much I lost to last Wednesdays rain.A nice difference here between ground that got 35 units and ground that did not, also have fields that got just slurry about the 1st of feb, serious response to the slurry, more than the urea.

It is almost April get it out.Are lads spreading fertilizer on grassland this weather? I have a few ton of 18-6-12 to spread. Ground conditions might allow it tomorrow, but it's to get very cold for a few days. Is it a risk or should I just get it out. I had hoped to have it spread 2 weeks ago.
Agree although I've nothing spread on any of the grassland yet myself. Probably hold off till next week now and see how the weather looks.It is almost April get it out.
If it is trafficable and no torrential rain forecast for next few days then it is time.Agree although I've nothing spread on any of the grassland yet myself. Probably hold off till next week now and see how the weather looks.
Approx 40 units N in the form of urea out anywhere that is trafficable, starting to show now especially on the few bits that have been grazed, still waiting on soil test results to know what compounds to go with as I am currently tied to a Glas nutrient management plan which had to be submitted based on results from last year that had to have been a cock up in the lab knowing my lime usage over the years.Are lads spreading fertilizer on grassland this weather?

I don't think it has grown enough to use 40 units yet.I stand to be corrected but urea doesnt leach there for should still be there has you grass grown enough to use 40 units
That seems mad to me.I spread about 35 units if urea on March 16th.most ground got slurry before it
Th urea appeared to have done nothing until the last few days.i wonder have I lost much of it?was talking to a dairy man who spread his before the snow (i warned him) and spread over 2 bags 18 6 12 about 3 weeks ago and his advice group reckon pretty much all the nitrogen is gone and to go again now
