Amazing
2008 Irrigated corn production is very similar for nutrient costs
and the price for 2008 corn at $3.84 per bushel.
2014
fall nutrient costing from Elkhart Coop in Western KS
2015
Dec. Futures Corn at $3.91, Oct. 9, 14.
Currently fall 2014 APP
10-34-0
$640
per ton is priced at 72 cents for N and P and S at $450 per ton is
priced at 58 cents for N and S.
NH3
is 640 per ton or N is priced at 39 cents per lb of N.
Based
on Loren Koehn at Copeland, KS and other producers such as Joel
McClure at Hugoton you can reduce P and S costs in 2015.
Even
though 10-34-0 is more expensive than 11-52-0…the liquid
ammoniated P is 200% more crop effective than dry 11-52-0.
The
Ortho Ratio can be readjusted to 126.5 lbs N as NH3 about 30 gallons
per acre of NH3. $49.33
About 6 gallons of APP,
Poly phosphate, 10-34-0
or 23.34 lbs. P plus 7.2 lbs. N per acre. $21.98
About
6 gallons of ATS or
Thiosul
12-0-0-26S or
17.34 lbs. S plus 6.6 lbs N per acre. $13.88
Total
cost at $71.31 per acre. Add 1 lb Ammoniated zinc at $1.75.
Total
Nutrient cost $73. 06 per acre for a 200 bushel per acre corn
crop.
140
lbs. N, 23.3 lbs P, 17.3 lbs. S, 1 lb Zn should produce a good corn
crop of 192 bushels per acre with some allowance for weather
damage…as 2008 had some hail damage.
Amazingly
2008 is very similar to 2015……..and this a really good time to
adjust your equipment and plan for success in 2008.
Producers
can raise a good corn crop with Exactrix TAPPS. Producers can
make money with a nutrient investment of $72.00 to $96.00 per
acre…planning on a gross income of $750 per acre.

Another
good article on yield improvements in wheat and corn at Lyons, KS http://www.exactrix.com/Broadcast_04_16_2014.html
In
Indiana a similar discovery…Liquid Injection of Exactrix
NH3, requires less N, and yield can be higher quicker.
The
important point is to make sure that applications of NH3 are made in
the 120 lb N to 140lb N range to maximize the profit.
