This is a current review in Nebraska Conditions.  

Calculated over 1 year.

10-34-0 up 133%.
82-0-0 up 157%
28-0-0 up 163
32-0-0 up 158%  

Retail Ammonia is typically marked up 33% to 100% above wholesale or as compared to farm storage pricing.

• Most ammonia sold to Exactrix® owners with storage averaged $169 to $225 per ton in July of 2020.
• Green Play Ammonia is priced at $100 to $300 per ton with 7 year contracts at 10% over cost. Storage is Critical.
• Cut Nutrient Costs in Half…..and get the carbon back in the ground and get ready for Zero Carbon Ammonia.

News about TAPPKTS with Trafix Zinc.  

Fall Banding of Corn at 6.5 to 8.5 pH starts November 1 on the Great Plains.  

Fall Banding of Winter Wheat starts July 1 on the Great Plains.  

Winter Cover Cropping and Fall Banding Starts September 1, In center pivot irrigation systems.  

140 lbs. Ammonium, 20 lbs. P, 12 lbs. K, 31 lbs. SO4 and S, 2.1 lbs. Zinc as Tra Fix. 140—20—12--31S plus 2.1Zn.
The calculation should come out at $80.00 per acre.
If it is too high you can call for 8% of the Gross Investment in NPKS+Zn. 

You can raise a good crop with low risk with not as much invested. Less is Always More. 

Most Exactrix® owners spend 8% to 12% of the gross income for nutrients and never going above 12%.
A typical budget is $80 per acre at current prices in irrigation.  

Sandy Loam Soils, Low CEC of the Arkansas flood plain raise KTS to 10 gallons and reduce ATS to 4 gallons.

Producers can reduce cost of nutrients by getting more efficient with TAPPKTS plus Tra-Fix Zn.

1. Buy nutrients right with storage. Buy Ammonia in summer months, Buy 10-34-0 within 30 days of manufacture. KTS stores well to very low temperatures, ATS crystallizes between 32-38 F. 
2. Exactrix® applies 166% more crop available N, Set Controller at 122 lbs. N as NH3.
3. Exactrix® applies 200% to 300% more crop available P as 10-34-0. Set the controller at 20 lbs. P bringing 9 lbs. N from 5 gallons APP.
4. Exactrix® outperforms top dressed KCL by up to 10 times, Chloride is not required,  Set the controller at 12K bringing 8S from 4 gallons KTS.
5. Exactrix® delivers nitrogen stabilizing sulfur, micro nutrients free up, SO4 and is S critical to the plant and no longer free, Set the controller at 23S bringing 9 lbs. N or at 8 gallons Thio-Sul®.
6. Exactrix® delivers Trafix Zinc at 1 to 2 gallon to drive yeast production and to improve nitrogen stabilization.  1.05 to 2.1 lb. zinc with .5 to 1 lb. S Asset Technology. 
7. Apply 19.37 GPA of Ammonia, Apply 19 gallons per acre of Liquid NPKS+Zn.  You will have a good economical crop with Exactrix High Pressure 1% CV application.

Note:
Trafix Zinc operates like a Chelate at a much lower cost. Helena is the supplier.
A most important part of the story is Trafix Zn blends and stores well with liquid blends with APP.
Trafix Zinc has Asset Technology, 4.5 S and 10 Zinc. 10.5 lbs. per gallon.
1.05 lbs. Zinc per gallon. .47 lbs. S per gallon.  

Note 2:
For every 1 lb. of N applied 1.7 lbs. of Agriculture, high quality Lime must be added back.
Lime and Gypsum applications can be simultaneous.
Both materials work  best in No-till with a finest grind and applied as a fluid.  

Note 3:
Variable Rate Site Specific applications with Exactrix are at 1% CV in liquid streaming flows. Liquid NH3 at 300 psi  makes nitrogen 166% more crop available and PKSZn up to 300% more crop available.  

No Tillage Farming Takes a Hit.  

Some soils were meant for Brick and Mortar. As a team of farmers trying to prove our environmental concerns for water and the atmosphere we do have a few bad partners.

The challenge of farm ownership with high taxes and cheap water. Cover Crop won’t solve this problem.

The rules of Fall Banding in Nebraska.
1. Soil pH at 6.5 to 8.5. Low pH below 6.5 requires 10% to 20% more nutrients. Micro Nutrients required above 8 pH, Zn, Mn and Fe.
2. A soil CEC of 10 or better.
3. OM above 2%.
4. Winter Cover crop helps in a pH of 6.0 to 6.5.
5. Thiosul with Trafix Zinc in TAPPKTS is required for control stat of Nitrous Ammonias and driving yeast formation.
6. VR, Site Specific at 1% CV in liquid streaming flows is required in almost every case. Penta-Chelated Fe should be applied site specific.
7. Make sure you talk to Exactrix® before Fall Banding. We will provide you the data in Nebraska conditions.

The crop prefers it. Ammonium is time proven the best choice in commodity crops.
Too much nitrate, too much lodging, over 500 diseases are listed when nitrate is used to raise corn and wheat.
You can get costs under control at a young age….you can buy land and pay off debt with Anhydrous Ammonia.

“Run Forest, Run.”  Brick and Mortar is a better choice in Nebraska conditions.
